Album update

Hi there. I thought it was about time for a quick Witches album update, since many of you have been asking about it!

We're off to SAE this weekend (7-9 August) to track much of the new material for our second album. The session - worth £2,000 - was part of our prize for winning the Next Big Thing competition, organised by Jack.fm earlier this year.

We've been working closely with our producer Jamie Masters for several months now, pinning down the arrangements and making sure everything is super-tight. Jamie will be coordinating the sessions alongside the excellent team they have at SAE.

Much of the overdubbing and additional tracking will be completed at Jamie's Echo Studios in Buckingham in early September. Over the two sessions we're hoping to finish off around 10 songs for the new album.

Though it won't stop there. We've decided to write even more stuff and have booked additional time at Martin's Studio101 to write and record additional tracks over the comings months. We figure the more good ideas we have to choose from the better the album will be.

Also, a couple of tracks recorded last year (There's a Darkness and Church Beds) have been beautifully remixed by Jimmy Evil and there's more than a good chance both will appear on the album next year. God bless Mr Evil and his ability to create killer drum sounds.

We're still hoping to release a single at our Halloween party at The Cellar, Oxford on Saturday 31st October - make sure you put the date in your calendar, it's going to be an AMAZING night.

See you soon
