My band, Kempsey, is booked in to record an EP on 11th, 12th and 13th of June at Atlantis Studios, Port Melbourne with Haydn Buxton. He did Blueline Medic's 42:19 record, and recently did the debut for Mark from Horsell Common's new band, Jonesez.
We originally recorded 3 tracks in our jam space that we were certainly proud of, but later decided we weren't entirely happy with them being the final product of these songs. I think alot of this was seeing how they paled in comparison with the amazing clip that Rhys Graham (daybreak films) made for us.
We chose Haydn after hearing the Jonesez album. It sounds so alive, and representative of their music. I really hope to achieve that. Something sonically pleasing but with no trace of a soft filter over the lens. It's hard target to hit - kind of like trying to blow up the death star - but I really think we are going to come out with something worth the while. Also we will be tracking almost everything live, but with a few overdubs, so hopefully it will sound tight, but human.
The tracks we are doing are:
Dizzy Head
Keep The Light On
Serious
Feel Less
The Weather
(the latter 3 can be heard at http://www.myspace.com/kempseymusic)
Feeling a little anxious about singing...the sickness is all around me and I can feel it rearing inside me. Oh dear...this could come out sounding far more Tom Waits than I would like.
