All 5 tracks are down. As soon as we’ve finished the editing and mixing I’ll post a couple of tracks on myspace.

Because my first demo was recorded on some pretty dubious equipment, we’ve re-recorded some of the old songs. The tracklist will be as follows:

1. Lele’s Song (new version)

2. Nine Sixteen (new version)

3. When You Found Me (new version)

4. Home Soon

5. For You Now

There are about 7 other songs that we’ve started on, but will use them when we release a full length album, hopefully in the not too distant future.

Back in the Studio

Posted in Recording on March 2nd, 2009

Back in Amsterdam to record the second half of the album. I arrived last night and we got straight back into it.

It’s exciting hearing the songs coming together so well. It’s the first time I’ve recorded with such good equipment like the Rode Classic II and and an acoustic Gibson that’s worth more than a nice car. Been feeling pretty inspired and it helps being able to work so well with my producer.

My little sister, Alicia, is recording the backing vocals in New Zealand. She’s got an amazing voice and I can’t wait to add it to the mix.

We’ve still got quite a bit to do to hit the mid-March deadline, but if we work hard we should make it.
