Alive and Well
Although it may seem as though we have disappeared into the ether, don't fret! We are still here and working very hard on our new record. It does not yet have a title, but that will be coming pretty soon (you can even send us some ideas to MySpace if you feel like it). We have been recording in Oxford, Mississippi since April and we are just about ready to start mixing.
The reason it has taken us so long is that after I injured my neck last fall, I knew that if I was even able to keep this band together, it was really important that we try new things in the studio (my hand is still sort of numb, so I had to re-work how I play guitar and other instruments). As we have found out, this takes time! But we are really excited to share this new record with you and it is my hope that it will be something you guys are into.
What does it sound like? Hmm. That is hard to say at this point. But I do know that I used to feel the weight of the world on my shoulders when we were recording the last couple of records and this time we are just having fun. Yah, the record sounds, for lack of a better word, fun. Our records have traditionally been sort of boring with respect to the shaking of the booty, so we have tried this time to make a more body-moving album. Boom boom boom. It's not all dance party USA or anything, but it promises to be more rhythmic for sure.
Our loving record label is telling me we are shooting for a release date of early next year. So, I'm hoping that means we will be touring this spring. We'll be sure to keep you posted.
