Studio Update 1
hello all. we're having a great summer. the kids of course love being outside and out of school, but soon it's time for early mornings, piano lessons, and catching the bus. we are in the middle of recording a new full-length release. we're tracking here in duluth. i have no idea what to say about it at this point, but then i never do. recording is almost as humiliating as writing, and twice as confusing. there have been some nice surprises, though, so i think it's going well. we will be working with sub pop again. they have been great. hope yr all well and good.

day 6 or 7 in the studio
i worked on vocals last night. today is mim singing and more percussion.
i think my favorite moments in the studio are when mim adds vocals/harmonies - it's like she's breathing life into corpses.
mim is singing lead on at least 2 songs so far - "especially me" and "you see everything." other titles include "$20", "al green", and "try to sleep." we should be done and mixing by mid september. even then, i'm afraid it won't be released until february or march - such is the business. most people would be surprised at how much work and time a record company has to put in before something can officially be released. it's frustrating, but sub pop does a great job, so it's worth the wait. we've been recording at duluth's own Sacred Heart Studios - it's an old catholic church now a community music center. we've had a studio in there for a few years now ("trust" was one of the first recordings there when it opened.) the chapel is large and vaulted, and it has a working 100-year-old pipe organ on one end. engineer eric swanson is helping us with tracking. after today, we'll have a week off - plenty of time to completely change my mind and start from scratch again. hope y'all are well.
