We've finished the drums now; we've spent a good amount of the day on them. It's really important to get the drums perfect as they're the foundation of the songs. We've also spent the time recording extra drum fills and using them as samples over the main drum parts. Sean's also brought his congas and percussion instruments in for more rhythm and it all sounds real fucking fat.
Day 1 in the studio
Current mood: fucking wired
I'm in the studio at the moment on my laptop so just thought I'd let you know what we're up to! We're in the
Our producer this time is James Lewis who's just done the Cajun Dance Party album amongst others and he's well up for making everything sound nice and dirty. ha ha We're recording three new songs, if you've been to see us recently you would have heard them.
1) Up All Night
2) Helicopter Parents
3)
Today we had a shit deal to start with, we hired a studio kit cause Sean's is far too well gigged to record with, especially since I'm always jumping on it and throwing it about. Problem was it sounded shiiit! It'd just come from Bestival so that makes it more of a live kit than a studio kit. It was far too boomy so now we're using OMD's kit to record. Sean's in the live room now recording drums on No Place Like Home, the boy's a fucking metronome to be fair. Paul and I have done nothing really apart from eat crap and drink a stupid amount of coffee.
It took a long time to get going because we were sorting through synth parts and samples for hours but at this rate with Sean we should get a good amount of these drums done today! I'll write again tomorrow and let you know how Paul's getting on with his Bass. xox
