Yesterday my band HISTORY for SALE mastered our new record with Ed Brooks (Pearl Jam, Sub Pop, pretty much amazing music). He said that we have some really great stuff on this record…come awn, seriously, for him to say that…what? So if you liked our first self titled record, then you will fucking love this record. I can’t get over how awesome my band sounds on this effort.
There is so much to write about this record, so many things that are different, so much release of control in the right ways. We couldn’t fuck this one up by being overly involved…who would have thought that this much less would result in so, so much more. I have some videos I am going to be putting together like this one I did for our recording days at Studio X in Seattle:
I will expand on the feeling more in the coming days. Just know that I am excited about….
As promised in an earlier blog…here is a little video compilation from my mastering session on January 6th. It is just a little something to show you the room, the day, the effort that goes into making a song sound “polished”.
Ed Brooks of RFI/CD is an amazing Mastering Engineer. The word “amazing” gets tossed around so easily now days, but with conviction…I express that he is the definition of the word amazing.
I am going to be making a couple hundred CD-R’s of this 9 song disc. The title of the project is as you might know now “Going Somewhere”. Some will get mailed to labels (know any looking for a middle aged dreamer?), some will get mailed for reviews. After that, I don’t know what is going to happen with the songs…if anything. That is part of the reality of this art form.
All I hope is that in the next 8 months, regardless of what happens…you will have heard some of this music. That you will have felt my message. That you will want more.
