Hi everyone! We are about 95% finished with the album and should be completely done tracking everything by the first couple weeks in February. Some songs are 100% finished and will begin being mixed later this month. To our ears everything sounds great!
Thanks!
Nick, Spencer, Pat, Neil, Eric and Ryan
Below is a video of our fantastic castanet player Gino Gamboa in the studio.
Hi Backers! Our apologies for the phantom updates, we have been very busy tracking and everything is sounding great! All the instruments and vocals for the album should be finished by the end of October and after that we'll just have mixing, mastering and replication to complete.
Thanks!
Nick, Spencer, Pat, Neil, Eric and Ryan
