Although it’s high summer outside, I’ve spent some time in the studio lately. A couple of new tracks are coming along. Without it being my intention when beginning, the recording sessions have been characterized by two things:

1. Pop and shiny happy people. I actually thought the new tracks would be rather dark and gothic, but instead they have this crisp poppy sound. Don’t know where that came from.

2. Old synthesizers and effects everywhere. So far, I’ve almost solely used the vintage stuff in Roth Händle studios instead of just bringing up the software plugs. I’m not much for setting up rules before recording, but after “Frauds” (which heavily depended on old effect boxes) it just happened to end up this way. And I like it. Nothing like an almost beat timed delay-pedal.

We’ll see where this will go. Can turn out to be anything. Seriously.
