First, the player at the top of the page isn't working because the free sites I use to host the mp3's limit my bandwidth, and no more music will flow. I can't move them to another site, because my hard drive is at Backdoor where we were recording today. In the meantime, go to Cara's myspace page or the Future Islands myspace page to hear some of their other songs.
So Future Islands and I are recording nine songs this week. We started tracking today. We did most of the songs live without a click, which was totally the bomb because the band was really tight. I'm really happy with how fast things are going with these guys. They are really well rehearsed, so we were able to get the drums, bass, and main synth parts done for six songs today. I'll post the unmixed track in the player. It's called Escape Artists, and they wrote it yesterday!
I;m just about to leave the house here to go to see Future Islands play with Tron Veldez, formerly know as Spinx, the guys from Raleigh, NC that I'm recording next week. The Death Set from Baltimore are also playing tonight. I really love this band. Matt, who is half of the duo, is also in Ecstatic Sunshine, who are incredible! Adventure (my friend Benny Boelt from Greenville), Ghetto Pony (who I've never heard) are also playing.
Ok. I really need to get going. Show is about to start, and I don't want to be blogging instead of doing other cool things (besides blogging because it is also so cool!)
Yes! Ok. I'll fix the player soon!

Man, that sucks about the technodiffs. But youll iron it out.
Six tracks in one day, and a live show to follow? Those guys (not to mention you) must be marathon runners. Hope they got good thick music calluses in all the right places...
It sounds like an interesting combination of a band that's really tight, and a band that is writing songs as they go along (or at least as late as yesterday). I hope that you can find a balance in the sound between these two ways of doing things.
