Drum tracking is finished!\u00c2\u00a0 After a couple of redos, Kevin has finished recording all the drums.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve recorded bass for all the tracks.\u00c2\u00a0 Well, at the very least, they’re scratch tracks.\u00c2\u00a0 I reserve the right to re-record bass as I see fit.<\/p>\n
Right now, it looks like a running time of 45:39, but that’s not allowing for fade-outs or interstitial oddities.\u00c2\u00a0 My goal was to have an album that clocks in at around 45 minutes, so I’m pretty pleased.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 The shortest song is 2:51 and, surprisingly, the longest song is only 4:48.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m no stranger to epic prog rock long songs, but I’ve tried to keep a focus on tighter songwriting for this, to not let it get away from me.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve written 9+ minute songs without blinking, and I didn’t want that this time around.\u00c2\u00a0 I guess this is my version of a pop album.\u00c2\u00a0 It could possibly pass as a punk album.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s certainly not a pop-punk album.<\/p>\n
I still have only one fully tracked song, but James has a rough draft for a song that sounds great so far.\u00c2\u00a0 When he’s done, that’ll be two songs done.\u00c2\u00a0 There’s one other that could probably be considered done, but I feel like I want to add another part to it.\u00c2\u00a0 Everything I’ve attempted hasn’t worked out, so I may just choose to leave it as is.<\/p>\n
I can’t wait for this album to be done so I can listen to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
