Further Recording
Last weekend I guess it was I went back out with a few homies to record some new shit, a project we’re calling NYC Headhunters. Most of these fellas aren’t too familiar with LI so the trek out there to P-Town seemed like an eternity to them. Understandably.
We did an arguably fast session, which was pretty sick. 5 songs in about 4.5 hours? This is gonna be a demo so for me it wasn’t something I wanted to put too much thought into. Basically, does everything read? Is anything blowing out? Ok then.
We ended up doing a few takes of everything and got to a good place after about two hours.
Then just a couple of random touch ups and fixes. Standard practice shit. I just wish I had a better way of isolating out sound for overdubs. The headphone set up in basements is never ideal.
After banging out those overdubs me and Evan set up for him to track a second guitar tone. So we had Colman on fuzzy, reverbed out guitar, and Reggie on clean and fat bass now Ev was gonna add a good middle ground to the recording. Overall it came out pretty good. Not entirely stoked on the snare, but I am gonna try and fuck with it until the bitter end. Vocals coming. Demo done soon.
New shit and Bass overdubs
I ended up staying out there while the NYCHH dudes headed back to the city. I would later record some vocals with Drew and record some drums and bass for a new fast song. When Drew got back from work we chatted about online dating and watched Twin Peaks to the wee hours of the night. The next morning Andre came out and we plowed through some more bass tracks and fucked around with some new ideas. Things are getting closer.
