Phasing is hard

New song "These Vegetable Existences" is being written. The coda, consisting of overlapping 17-beat and 18-beat phrases, is proving to be a real bitch. Oh, the things we do for you people...

(Actually, it's our own self indulgence, but whatever)

THE ALBUM

Holing up in the upstairs of a typical suburban McKinney home with a digital 16-track recording console, we (Bill and Cameron) have begun hammering out the guitar and drum tracks for our album (the title was "We Apologize In Advance", but now, we dunno). So far, we've gotten both guitar and drums done on "Bipolar Bear", and the drums done on "Necessary Beard Components". Recording these instruments will go on throughout the week, and the bass tracks will be laid down in quick succession once Andrew returns from his trip to England. We should easily be able to knock out seven songs or so, as we have that many in the vaults, and if time allows then we'll push that number to around ten. So, this may end up being an EP, but hopefully a full-length. We'll try to make around a hundred copies of the album and have a record-release show once we're finished. Stay tuned!
