We just finished recording and mixing something like 7 new songs (depending on how you define a “song”) in three days in Oakland CA at The Creamery, a 16-track analog (that means we used tape — specifically 1″ tape) studio run by Greg Ashley, who used to play in a band called The Gris-Gris and has also released some excellent solo albums. We think the songs came out great and can’t wait to share them with several of our closest fans… but we’re still trying to figure out things like what size vinyl, how many, should we customize each jacket personally like Guided By Voices did with Propeller, or… etc. So it make take a while before we can get the new music to your ears. We’re also planning to record some more in April here in LA. Whether that’s for a separate release or part of this one depends on about 73 different factors.

In the meantime, here are some pictures of the studio, and of Guylaine in the studio. We were not quick enough to capture Rory or James or Greg, because they move like cheetahs. Luckily (for us) Guylaine was suffering some kind of cold/flu/allergy combo that slowed her down just enough for us take a quick photo. The song she was preparing to sing is called “Dommage!” That’s pretty much all we’re going to tell you at this juncture. Stay tuned!
