Pre-production update
Not too much has happened since this past week. Walter stayed home and we worked on a new song that’s been sort of half-finished for the past few months. It’s pretty close to being finished now. No title for this one yet. We’ll just call it Untitled 4.
We also got started on our EPK (Electronic Press Kit). This is just something that we’re doing for Roadrunner that will be sent out to the media (magazines, radio, etc.) as a promotional type thing. It was nice to get a little break and do something different for a day. When it’s finished it will be about 5-7 minutes long. We’ll probably be posting some clips from it as we get farther along and the whole thing will eventually be available for download from the site. So far we filmed interviews with each band member and got some rehearsal footage.
We’ll be getting together with Walter again sometime within the next few weeks to kind of finalize everything we’ve done with him. Other than the 10-11 songs that Walter worked on with us, there are a few other ones that we’ll be working on before we get into the studio: The Silent Acquiescence of Millions, Maybe a Purpose, and two songs that were originally supposed to appear on the Project:Bluebird EP, An Author for the Authority and Breathing Cliche.
Unless any other new songs are written between now and when we get into the studio, we’ll be going in with about 16 songs ready to go. The total time for the 16 songs clocks in roughly somewhere around 65-70 minutes.
