Over the past two weeks, FLI has been busy rearranging and recording at home. Wholly lo-fi; with just about two condensers, an SM-58 for the kick and a 57 for the snare. Along with a large diaphragm ambient mic. My whole kit, except the hi-hat stand, invaded Neel's bedroom. Of course, Audrey left to sleep at the other house!
The takes were primarily done all through the night, and considering the songs in question, even playing a full-on kit was surprisingly low on overall volume. But what was even more surprising was how this deal came out; it sounds way much warmer than any studio drums I have laid. Work is still in progress.
Right after EKRR I, or rather at the time of it all, Allan and me were constantly getting back to one question: when do we do this band full-time? In the weeks that passed since, keeping my day job and also playing with Span — and consequently turning up late for Span practice in the evenings — has been a bit of a bother, and on one occasion, quite a piss-off. But it's all good. As long as you play, they say.
