Our Fastest Album Yet
Oct 21, 2016 | HANSON
We are almost a week into basic tracking for our new Christmas album and it is sounding amazing! We have been doing a little more than a song a day getting almost everything except vocals. Our hope is before we leave for our shows at Epcot we will have finished except some vocal fairy dust (we will pick up some fresh dust while at the most magical place on earth). If you were wondering, yes we are moving quite fast. It we keep this pace all the way to the end this will be our fastest album recording by far!
So far we have written four original Christmas songs for Wintry Mix, but it seems like every other night someone is humming a new idea to add to the mix. Finding the balance is hard, but it is really just like any other album. No matter how you go about it, there are always great songs that end up on the cutting room floor.
We are about a year off from Wintry Mix hitting shelves, but don’t worry we won’t make you wait that long before we share. The final stages of recording won’t happen for a few months, but when we get a little closer to December 25th we look forward to giving fans a sneak peek into the studio to see and hear some of what we are working on.
The weather in Oklahoma has started to turn cold, sweatshirts and jackets are still optional, but quickly becoming a necessity. The chilly weather is a welcome change, but partly because we know come January, when the weather is at it’s worst we will be heading down to Jamaica for the fifth annual Back To The Island. Last year the islanders said it was overwhelmingly our best year ever. Of course we see that as a challenge, so we are trying to double down on a good thing and use member's feedback to make things even better. January seems like a long way away, but in a flash we will be standing on the beach breaking new years resolutions without a care in the world.
-Isaac, Taylor and Zac

January means bundling up cause I am saving my few precious vacation days for when my kids are off in the summer. And basketball. Lots and lots of basketball :)

Wintry Mix?
By that name I'd gather I am about to buy a delicious bag of jalapeno, black pepper, and sea salt bag of potato chips and nuts. Or a bag of fancy delightful kitty food. I still trust you guys are going to blow my mind with good music!
No matter what you name it.
Now I'm hungry!

I'm glad the songs for Wintry Mix are coming along so swimmingly well, though I hate to see any great song end up on the cutting room floor! A sprinkle of fairy dust is sure to give them all a sparkle and glow. We fans won't need any magic at all to make us fall in love with each and every one,...I'm sure about it! You all look like you're having a great time with the assorted musical doodads in the photo. Looking forward to that studio sneak peek,...and listen! :)

It's crazy that this Christmas album is getting done so fast and we still have to wait a year for it. Maybe you should consider releasing this year. :)

As long as no one kills Zac (reference to the pic), 2017 is going to be an amazing year! :) If only I could get well enough to see them on tour. <3 Can't wait to hear the new music!!
