Good News and Bad News
Pre-production (with Walter) was finished on Friday. We now have a list of 13 songs that we were planning on recording, starting next week.
The bad news is… we won’t be starting next week anymore.
A series of events transpired last week involving Roadrunner Records which resulted in us being unable to start production on the album as we had planned to do on June 11. What that series of events was is still somewhat unclear to us, but we are being assured that, although this does kind of suck for us, the reason behind it is a good one. And one that will benefit us in the long run. It comes down to bad timing I guess. As you may have noticed, we’re masters of bad timing.
I know this probably doesn’t make much sense. It really doesn’t have anything to do with us. It’s more of a company-wide thing that is effecting everything that Roadrunner is involved in right now. We don’t really know much else about it at this point. Apparently, it’s pretty top secret. Shh.
Anyway, so it looks like we won’t be going to Nashville for at least another month or so. We’ll know more as things with the label get worked out.
The good news is… We will probably be playing a show or two in the meantime. There is a pretty cool show coming up in the next few weeks that we may be taking part in. We’ll know more about that within the next few days.
Getting back to those 13 songs I mentioned… When we finally get to Nashville, the plan is to record 12-13 songs for the album. As of right now we have these 13 pretty much ready to go: (tentative titles)
Tabula Rasa, 433 Hypothetical Situations, Die in Fall, Selfish Reasons, Social Anxiety Disorder, Pain, Uniforms, The Silent Acquiescence of Millions, Massinuum, Untitled Acoustic Song, Plasma, Bitmap, and Me Parade.
But now with the extra time that we have, a new song or two will probably be written and could possibly replace something from the list. So, don’t go getting that tattooed on your ass or anything.
