Posted project update #6Mixing is Done! Mastering is Done! And I'm on Twitter?
Post CommentHi Kickstarter! I'm so excited to tell you that my album is super duper close to being in your hands (or ears, as it were)! Last week, the final mixes were mastered at Rare Form Mastering in Minneapolis. Now, we're finishing up artwork, liner notes, and tour dates. Stay tuned for tour dates and also (for you Kickstarter folks) an email coming atcha with some questions about where to send your Kickstarter rewards. Also, in this video, I failed to list my updated tour trajectory. Here are the cities, dates TBA: St. Paul, Minneapolis, Des Moines, Omaha, Billings or Bozeman, Missoula, Spokane, Seattle, Portland.

Posted project update #3$790 and Counting!
Post CommentHey everyone. Holy smokes, I can't believe how quickly we are approaching the goal! This is fantastic. With 20 days left, we have raised 79% of our stated goal! According to Kickstarter, if you reach or exceed your goal, you get to keep the money, but if you don't reach the goal, nobody gets charged. I'm confident that we're gonna make it--people have been extremely generous, and I'm excited to start dishing out singing telegrams and thank you notes as soon as possible. Of course, for those of you who pledged for a copy of the upcoming album, you'll have to wait for all the mixing, mastering, and duplicating to happen--but you're gonna get a product that I feel really proud of.
We're all done with the "lock-in" method of recording, where we just locked ourselves into Taylor and Suzanne's house for a week, and today we're meeting up to work at a more leisurely pace on some background vocals (my favorite thing to do). I love the lock-in method because I really love the way the creative process is fed by total immersion! Then again, I suspect Dan, Rachel, and Jake have had enough of my goofing off and puns. And it's nice for all of us to return to the outside world. :)
For those of you who have pledged, I'm gonna send you a track or two of unedited material soon so you can hear what you're investing in! For now, here are some photos that Rachel Price took of our week at Taylor and Suzanne's house....

Posted project update #2Days 4 and 5 of Recording!
Post CommentHello! At the end of the first week of this campaign, we've raised over 50% of the goal! This is fantastic news. I cannot even begin to express my immense gratitude! Recording is chugging along, here in St. Paul at Taylor and Suzanne Burr's house. We're having a blast working on these songs, and we're working hard. Here's a lil' update my friend Rachel Price filmed yesterday, while we were quietly waiting in the kitchen as Jake recorded a bass track.

Posted project update #1Day 3 of Recording!
Post CommentOh, wow. We just wrapped up day 3 of recording--already! It's going great so far--we've tracked about half the songs slated to be on the album, and we're working almost around the clock to create the best album possible. It's so much fun and simultaneously challenging work to record an album. I'm lucky to have such great people to work with. Dan Zamzow and Rachel Price, thank you.
I'm so happy that my friends Taylor and Suzanne are letting us use their space for this project! Besides the on-and-off construction next door and the darling pup who seems to alternate between sweet listener and grumpy old man dog, the space is PERFECT for working this way. We can work all day, break for food and short spurts of yoga without ever having to leave the house if we don't want to.
And I'm incredibly grateful for the support I've received so far on Kickstarter. After less than a week, we've reached more than 40% of the goal! I'm confident that we can make our goal by August 31. But we still need lots of support! We have more than half way to go.
To everyone who has donated so far---THANK YOU so much!!! I appreciate you in the biggest way possible. And I can't wait for you to hear this album!

Liz, thanks for these updates. I still get to see your beautiful face every now and then. Your release party might be the only social event I'm able to attend (ever, it feels like), and I can't wait! Congratulations on all this. You are so damn talented.
