Notebooks
Hi Everyone,
So it seems like my summer came and went with little consequence and I feel, as I’ve felt every autumn for most of my life, kind of surprised about the whole thing. Maybe even deflated? But also weirdly determined to get things done. I think it’s an echo of school institutionalisation that I just can’t shake off; September still says “this year i’m going to get better grades and keep my books tidy.” Hah. So I find myself sitting in our little studio in the countryside in the pissing rain, considering the whiteboard scrawled with song titles good and bad that are itching to get out, thinking “this year…”
We found this place a few weeks back and it’s really starting to make sense. Since we recorded ‘Fractured Life’ some three years ago (oh god) I don’t think we’ve had a single practice that wasn’t all about preparing for a show or something. It’s been quite enjoyable just coming in a couple of times a week with no pressure and having a mess about with stuff. And so I think the plan is to get album #2 to a point where we can get into a studio and unfold it by Christmas. Tick tock…
Keep your notebooks tidy!
Much love,
Chris
