recording update

hi everyone! i wanted to take a minute to give you a quick (and much needed) recording update. i've been getting a lot of emails lately asking when the next album is going to be released. i realize that it's been quite a while since the last major release, and i've been been keeping most of the details under wraps, so i thought this would be a good opportunity to get you all up to speed on where the recording is at.

i've been working since around mid-2012 on a new full-length album, and to put it shortly, it's taking a lot longer than expected to get it finished. i'm really excited with how it's coming along, but progress has been slow. there have been several re-writes of different parts and almost constant adjustments to the song arrangements, but all the extra work is really helping the new songs take shape. it has a much different feel than the other albums in the series, and i'm excited to share it with you!

currently, the album is made up of 7 tracks, and the plan for now is to stick at 7, unless it doesn't feel complete when it's finished. and although i don't know how long it will be until it's ready to be released, here is a quick breakdown of where each song is at (as of august 14, 2013).

song 1 is pretty much finished, and has been sent off to rory carruthers for mixing. song 2 is just about finished as well, and should be on the way to rory's later this week. song 3 is what i'm working on at the moment. it's getting there, but i have a few ideas i still want to try out. songs 4-7 are in various states of completion, but are generally in pretty good shape.

my plan moving forward is to post weekly recording updates to the life is my soundtrack facebook page (www.facebook.com/lifeismysoundtrack) to keep you all up to date on how recording is coming along. the updates will also continue on for future releases.
