making it up as we go

yes, it's coming soon. but where are we at right now?

after the night of the concert i initially wanted to mix,

master and get this collection of songs out there as quickly as possible.

but often with music, as with haircuts,

a bit of distance helps in being objective.

also, circumstances dictated otherwise ...

so, after having driven family and home across country

for the second time in 2 years,

we took some time to settle in. a trip to oz was next,

for asa to meet my family and have his first birthday.

and his first surfing lesson.

after getting back to states, the fellas,

guy and i spent a week tweaking and mixing

and are now living for a wee while with the "mastered" tracks,

making sure we're happy with the sonics.


in 'the green house', mixing with guy

we're going for a new sound here, making it up as we go

and how you master a record is part of that process.

at the same time, leels and i work on the artwork and promo plan.

so, that's where we're at for now.

this beast shall be known as 'out from under'.

stay with me in the coming days and weeks

and i shall point my view toward you as we ready this beast for release ...

  1. You all never disappoint. I have converted a few followers as well. Brother in many ways has been the guiding sound in my life for many things, since I started following. The version is anxiously awaiting. I have taken such a liking to this bunch, I have named my bike team for a charity ride- Team Mongrel in honor of my favorite band.

  3. you may. we'd been looking long for a title but nothing grabbed me fully. then listening to the early mixes 2 chairs came on and that line jumped out at me. in a way it sums up this time. getting out from under the past in a way, taking what works of the old but otherwise moving on ...
