Pre-orders Available Now

Can you believe it’s been less than a year since we released Our Ghosts Will Fill These Walls?!
 
Well folks, with this recording process nearly complete (2 weeks from beginning to end!), it’s now time to start asking for a little help to get the *new album* into your hands as fast as we can. As you may have noticed, many independent artists and bands have been looking to their fans to help fund their albums, and we are no different. These babies cost a lot of money and we meld our very BEING into them because we are doing what we love: making music. But to be completely honest, we can’t keep asking our parents :) Let’s be real.
We did this for the last album and you helped us put over $3000 in the bank to cover the costs of mastering and printing. Thank you SO MUCH! We’re about to head out on tour all over BC and some of AB in February, and heading up into the Yukon and Alaska for March. We’ve covered the studio costs at both Sound Extractor Studios and Big Dreamer Sound in Edmonton, but it’s the mastering and printing costs we’re short on. This record has come together incredibly quickly, and, with your help, we anticipate having it in our hands by late April, at which point we will sign and mail YOU your  pre-ordered copy – WELL before we officially release it to the rest of the world! Can you believe it? This is crazy talk! 
 
So if you would like to be an integral part of this album and meld your being into it too, please donate $20 for your pre-ordered copy of the yet to be titled and named new full length album by using the donate button below. We’ll be giving updates on where the album is “at” and you can bet your bottom dollar that as soon as it’s possible, we’ll be making many of the songs available here on this site! Along with the new band name of course! And a preview of the album art! So many things to get excited about this year!! 
Thank you, thank you, thank you. We definitely couldn’t do this without you.

Phase One Complete

Another update from the studio.

 

Today the band completed the first phase in recording the new record. Our sessions at Sound Extractor have been a real treat. We did 5 short days and laid the bed tracks for 10 new songs – Sick with you, I’ll be a mountain, Wake me up, The Storm, Erehwon, Russia?, Scars, Everything is erased, Being me, and Everybody knew. The experience was so awesome. Never before have we been so prepared, and the result was practically effortless. I guess all that time on the road is paying off.

 

We’ll be taking the weekend off and moving into the next phase on Monday when we head over to Big Dreamer Sound to record vocals with Harry Gregg. Since Harry’s house has been like a second home to all of us over the last few years, so we will be right at home.

 

It sure has been a different experience this time around. Compared to the making of Our Ghosts Will Fill These Walls – a record that took 13 months in total – the making of this new album will hopefully be finished and available by early summer! And…. UNDER A SECRET NEW NAME!

 

Stay tuned…

Studio Photos!

A quick update from studio-land.

We are now 3 days in to our sessions at Sound Extractor studios in Edmonton, and things have been going amazing! 8 of the 10 songs have already been tracked, and to say they sound great would be a huge understatement. The engineer / co-producer Brad Smith (Mr. Smith Productions) is a bonafide genius. We decided to record in a completely different way this time around. Rather than track/record everything with the intention of mixing it later, Brad is essentially mixing the record on the way in. What this means is that we are hearing the songs as in their complete form  right away. The performances are better than they have ever been. I am so excited
