Rehearsal went brilliantly with very successful run-throughs of both the new songs in the set: 'Albatross' (from the upcoming EP) and 'It Will All Make Sense In The Morning' (for the next record). 'It Will All Make Sense...' for me is such a needed presence in our live set adding something that we haven't had up until now. Hard to articulate. 'Albatross' we've played before, but only now is it really working the way it should. I should also mention here that our friend, the amazing cellist, Zoe Keating will be joining us for the Nov 30th show, also.
The recording of 'It Will All Make Sense...' is really coming along nicely. So many great elements already - I'm quite pleased. Count recorded quite a bit of material for the song 'Seabright' in Dallas, as well. I haven't heard it yet, but he seems very energized by what was laid down. A few months ago Robin Guthrie (of Cocteau Twins), someone we've admired for quite a long time, played guitar on it also. Our timeline for the next album seems more realistic everyday, though those of you who followed us during the making of our last album will take that with a serious lump of salt. ;)
Today, I listened to the master of the 'Albatross EP' for the first time. These EP's are so fun to put together, as they remove a lot of the challenges that a full album brings. Admittedly, the EP format is not as vibrant as it once was, I still get excited by the possibilities it provides.
