It’s extremely hard to believe but the recording of our new album is completely finished. It at once feels like we’ve been working on it for ages and like we just started. Tomorrow we leave for Seattle to start mixing with the very talented John Goodmanson. The strangest thing is to think that when we come back from Seattle we won’t be sitting in our studio everyday staring at the computer and racking our brains. We’ll have moved on to whatever the next step will be. There is also this feeling of relief. We have worked so hard for so long on this album and now that it’s done I can say that I feel it is by far the best thing we’ve ever done. You always worry when you start a new album if it will turn out how you envision it. So it’s such a relief to end up with something you’re very very proud of. The past several days have just been spent going through all the songs and working on the final little tweaks here and there. We had a couple songs that stood out in our minds as needing some last minute touches. So we focused on those mostly and in the end we felt like we had fixed what problems we had with them. We also spent some time picking the final vocal takes on the last two songs. We wrapped everything up and backed up all the hard drives and headed home to get ready for our trip tomorrow. Thanks so much to all of you for reading this little journal throughout this whole process. It has really meant a lot to us to read your comments and to know we have your support. We’ll be updating you all from Seattle on the mixing process. And hopefully before too long we’ll some actual music for you all to hear. Thanks so much again and we’ll update soon.
Love,
dan & ryan
