In a room in North Wales, with a throw for a curtain (should really buy some curtains), the recording for the album "Future Proof" (working title) is taking form. Happy with 10 of the songs, some are just the motar between the bricks, but still. It's difficult to record an album in the spare moments between work, eating and sleeping. It's like trying to sleep but being woken up every few minutes.
The album will be available online via digital download and a physical release is on the cards.
Woods - At Rear House
Everything Everything - Man Alive
Death Cab For Cutie - Codes and Keys
On the record player (spotify/car stereo) this week:
Woods - At Rear House
This has been on and off for 4 years, such lucid and beautiful songs which should be exhibit A for the case against high production values.
Not had this album long, and bought it when not a lot was going on, so no real moments to tie it too on an emotional level. It's a very good album, I do skip some tracks that I'll probably come to like in the future. The vocal is what has probably brought it too peoples attention. I'm less concerned with the voice, but I do enjoy the unorthodox structures and some of the melodies, and some of the songs are great for the harassed car trip to work. It is a good, sometimes beautiful album, but Everything Everything have not joined the ranks of my favourite bands, they must be gutted.
I think I'll probably like anything Death Cab do. Not convinced yet on an objective level with this one, but his voice, the little melodic motifs that scatter all their work allow me to love it without thinking to much.
