I've uploaded an unmixed song from Ecstatic Sunshine. We just finished tracking today, and will be editing and mixing tomorrow evening and early next week. The album we're recording is four songs, which I've described in earlier posts.

We're tracking in this big warehouse space on the top floor of a six floor building near downtown in Baltimore. The room is really great for recording (there are a ton of spaces like this in Baltimore... so cool). It's the apartment that hosted Whartscape earlier this summer. It's called Floristree, and the guys that live there have a ton of awesome shows.
