song # 12 now has a title – where is the sun? – along with lyrics and a couple of guitar overdubs since the first demo. I think it’s about half way there – some of the vocals were done in a couple of takes and sound a little rough. The lyrics might need a bit of polish and the mix needs to be tightened (there’s a lot going on in the chorus) but overall some solid progress.

song 12 – first demo
and so onto song # 12 ~
a few years ago I was early for a band practice and while I waited I picked up a bass guitar and started playing away, eventually happening on a riff or two that I liked. I pinched one of those riffs for a song I did with my previous band, the Jeunes, called Obvious which you can listen to here. On that song the riff is played an octave higher on guitar. It ended up sounding quite different to the original riff, and I really liked the original version, so I recently decided to start working on it for the next song. The first demo is built on the bass guitar part, with some drums and a couple of electric guitars added. It’s very sparse but kind of cool IMHO.
it took awhile but we’ve finally finished song # 11, Open Your Eyes. As usual, click on the song title below for the streaming and download links.

nearly there
sorry for the long gap between updates – some unavoidable delays. Open Your Eyes is tantalizingly close to being finished – should have it online within a few days.
after that I only plan on starting another 2-3 songs so we’re getting close to the end of the record. that will leave us with about 14 songs and we’ll shortlist that down to the best 10 or so for the CD. the songs that make the cut for the CD will be remixed from the versions we’ve posted here on the blog. those mixes were often done pretty quickly and for the official release we want to take a bit more care. you should hopefully notice some significant improvements.
in the meantime, stay tuned for Open Your Eyes which will be available for free download in a few days.
