Writing almost finished; recording underway…

I’m very close to finishing the writing phase with this batch of songs, around 25-30 in total, and I’m well ahead of schedule. The music usually comes quite quickly, even though you never know what will appear when basically starting with nothing. The lyrics have surprised me on this occasion. I usually have to slog quite hard over the lyrics and it can really add to the writing time. Not this time! Easily finishing an entire lyric a day from scratch, if not more than one song. So most of the songs are pretty much drafted out and I’m very happy with them. One particular tune is sounding possibly like the best thing I’ve ever written.

I’ve now started recording a few of the tunes. Starting with the drums and bass on a track called ‘Circles’. A slow number with a big chorus. So far it has a really nice vibe. Will be adding the guitars shortly.

I will start sharing some of the demos on my BandCamp subscriber page soon; I haven't had a chance so far as I don’t want to break the writing momentum I’ve built up (another piece of Rick Rubin wisdom!)

Starting to look ahead to the release and possible dates, gigs etc.

More updates coming in a few days
