Chris is working on the last song now and it sounds very pretty. He has a real gift for picking the right sounds for a song, and playing little riffs and lines that make the sounds work. It doesn’t hurt that he plays guitar and piano-and toy piano-and sings and is an endless source of ideas.
It looks as if we’ll have a lot to work with, going into mixing and mastering. It’s been fairly amazing, hearing where Chris has taken the songs. This should be a cool album, I think, when it’s mixed and mastered. It’s sounding quite cool already. It’s a good balance between songs that build on my usual sound and take it a lot further, and songs that have a new sound I wouldn’t have imagined (the Blondes, anyone?) I’m extremely happy we did this, and excited about what we’ll get when we mix them good and proper.
I’m also grateful to Chris’ whole family, who put up with me for the weekend… And fed me. And kept Spenser company today. And were generally awesome.
