Bass and drums done

So I’m currently working with 19 brand new tunes and slowly chipping away at recording the various elements. This will likely be the first full album I make which features only me playing everything you hear.

I’m constantly trying to refine what will likely be the final track listing and I currently have a draft list which includes the 14 best tunes. This collection of songs is probably the most balanced reflection of my main musical influences I’ve ever put together. Heavy rockers, slower piano songs, acoustic finger picking, psychedelic elements and all containing my best set of lyrics. Listening back to the rough tracks today I can hear the influence of AC/DC, Jack White, Paul Weller, Neil Young, The Beatles but hopefully blended in with a good amount of my own sounds.

I have now finished the drum and bass tracks and I’m starting to layer up the guitars. Next up will be vocals. It should take a few weeks to get them all down. Maybe a bit longer to finish all the backing vocals. Once the vocals are down I should be able to draft out a timeline for mixing, mastering, potentially physical manufacturing and then release. I’m certainly ahead of my original schedule which earmarked a release for May 2025

I’ll be recording some acoustic versions at some point to upload to YouTube so subscribe over there if you haven’t already.

More updates to come shortly…
