Sorry for the lack of updates as of late. There should be lots to say in the coming months. Started making some sounds for the new album today. I like recording early in the morning. Everything seems a bit brighter.

Tracked for a song called “Blue on Blue”. We’ve been playing some of these songs at our shows for awhile now. Its good to get a record of them. Here are some of the lyrics for the song

Blue on blue, Where the lines are true There is a hole in black Where the light came through. We stood up tall, we stood up tall to look around

But you brought us down, into humble dirt look at us now.

Make sure to check back often. Peace -matt

Friends,

A recording session was planned rather quickly this weekend, but it went better then we could have hoped for. Some of the Hudson Branch guys (well one, not including us Jadiid members in the band), a mr. cobey bienert came along to start on some of their songs that are going on the Christmas ep. We have two songs we are almost done tracking for, and four other songs we have written/arranged.

It goes fast… We never seem to have enough time. I’ve lived in Chicago now for maybe 6 or 7 months and it seems like a week. Work and school takes up most of our time leaving little or borrowed time for music. We are working hard to change that. -matt

Recording We went back into the studio this past weekend. It certainly wasn’t as productive as the first weekend but we got some crucial things done, including kevin’s horn part (well for one song at least). I’ve been thinking about all of us learning to play a little horn (at least to the point where we can hold a note). At the end or beginning of a song we could all play a little symphonic horn section… what do you think.
