First of all, the new album is in this great, continuous evolving stage. One in which we create some exciting sounds and hash them out for a while, and then some new song comes from out of the blue that we just can’t let go. And the genres seem to be crossing all the time, from rock to jazz to some crazy ambient/ethereal sounds as well as some Cajun flair. Instead of focusing on one direction right now and limiting the creative process, we are celebrating all ideas and really trying to let the music define us as opposed to the opposite. Eventually the producer hat has to be worn of course and something has to be harnessed and made into music you can actually listen to all the way through.

But in the mean time we thought of a great way to keep your curiosity fed. The thought of giving you constant behind the scenes looks and listens of how the process of creating an album happens from start to finish. Not only will you get to hear and download some of the ideas, you’ll see photo’s from the recording session as well as video clips. Beyond that I’m going to get into the technical side as well, and describe from a producer/engineer’s point of view how and why things are done the way they are. So if you are interested in the art of recording, even if you don’t like this band, you will learn some great tips and tricks…secrets of the trade if you will…right here, for free.

Along this musical journey to the next album, feel free to respond with questions and or requests, as well as critiques of the material!
