We had a superb session at SAE last weekend (7-9 August). The team at SAE did a wonderful job of setting up a huge number of microphones in the biggest recording room I've ever seen. The golden rule was - don't break anything :)
After setup we tracked eight songs in 13 hours, and we're really pleased with the outcome. Our producer Jamie Masters pushed us hard to get the performances we needed, and it was well worth it. With two additional songs already overdubbed and mixed the album really feels like it's starting to come together.
The next stage is for Jamie to do a few edits and then we're doing a lot of overdubs at Echo Studios in early September, where we'll also track a couple of additional songs we didn't have time to do at SAE.
Tonight (10th August) we start work at Studio101, aka Martin's studio, where we will be developing (and ultimately recording) a further batch of new ideas over the next ten weeks. Martin's new vibraphone will no doubt make an appearance alongside whatever else we can find hidden away in his loft.
A lot of you have asked: 'when will it be finished?'
The most accurate answer I can give at the moment is 'next year', depending on who releases it.
In the interim, we'll have some brand new songs to play for you at our Halloween gig at the end of October, as well as a new single penned for the forthcoming album (hopefully, fingers crossed).
