Round 2

On Monday 3/23 Lawnchair was back in the confines of Nice Package Recording. This week's sessions yielded 4 songs... a couple of first take'ers to boot. I can't believe how well the process is going. I can't say enough about how great they've been to work with thus far, and how relaxed the process has been. We did start the project with songs we've been playing for quite a while, so that surely has something to do with it. (oh, I know... "stop calling me Shirley") We'll see what happens as we move into the new material.

Now that we have the board dumps from the last 2 sessions, we can start listening to the songs as a collection. It will be interesting to hear if and/or what works together as we decide the song's future. I really look forward to the mixing process, where the songs take shape into real works and not just a conglomeration of sounds. The tracks have a great "Live" feel which is what we wanted to achieve in the recording. Have I mentioned how stoked I am about all of this!?!?!?

We will be back in this Monday, with a new batch of songs in hand. Just two more sessions of general tracking left, and then we are on to the overs and mixing. I have no question that this project will shape up to be the best of Lawnchair's recorded output.

If you play it, they will come!
