We've spent the last couple of months working on the next set of songs for our upcoming, as-yet-untitled new album. At the moment, we've got about ten songs in various states of completion, with a bunch more fragments and sketches on deck. And, as we've been hinting, tracking has even started on the first batch of 4, with drums and bass being engineered by Mike Govaere @ Downbeat. The plan is to roll through tracking sets of songs in batches as we finish writing them, adding up to a complete album (with likely at least a handful of b-sides) sometime early next year.˙
The Highwires studio has also been undergoing major renovations this past month, including a giant new sound booth enclosure that's just about complete. As soon as that's all done, the studio space will be back up and running and the keyboard and guitar tracking will commence on the first set of 4 songs.
Which is all a long way to say that we're in the early stages of a full length, and we're very excited about how it's coming together.
Beyond that, we'll have some pretty exciting tour announcements in the coming months for late in the year and next spring/summer. However, for the the time being, we're heads down on the new album (with maybe a Chicago show or two in the nearer future).
We can't wait to share this stuff with you all.
