Kent called from Open Sky Studios in Atlanta this morning. He’d spent the day with producer Bruce Butkovich, recording the drum tracks for the next release. The first song (working title ‘Perfect Day’) had gone down really well & Kent was stoked with it. The guys played some of the drum recording over Skype. It sounded fantastic – although the connection was doing its best to drop out.

Skype session with Kent & Bruce at Open Sky Studios, Atlanta, this morning (night time, their time).

A few hours later I got an email from Kent – the 2nd song was done. By now, the guys will probably be fast asleep after a long day in the studio. When Bruce gets in tomorrow morning, he’ll begin uploading the drum tracks for me to download by the end of the week.

We hit the studio in Melbourne on Saturday to lay down the rest of the instruments over the Atlanta drum sessions. In theory, we should be done by next week with the new releases ready for mastering & release mid to late this month.
