This was a pretty monumental experience for me. It was the first project I've ever worked on that label money paid for. The band had two days scheduled to track at inner ear before they had to catch a plane to Singapore this afternoon. They are working on an EP to be released on polyvinyl sometime in November. We tracked five songs to the 2 inch and i transferred them to DP at the end of our time last night. I'd say over all things went extraordinarily smoothly, especially given that the band lives in all different states and can only get together to tour and record, which means most of these songs had never been played by the band as a unit. Tony brought in a cd of demos he had made at his place in rochester and everyone would kind of sit down and work away at it until there was a song there, and then i would record. I think if it were any other band or a group of less talented musicians, this formula would never work, but success in their work process has been proven by their last two records, and i can't wait to hear what overdubs and mixing will do with this already awesome music.
