Day One: Recording New 2023 Members EP

Feb 28, 2023 | ZacHanson

Well today was our first day recording, and it really went amazing, especially when you consider many first days are only setup, and today we nearly finished our first song. Done we are not but the week has started well and there are already a lot of song ideas fighting for a place in the sun.

One of the big questions is always songs from the archive, songs that are finished, but maybe have never found a home. It this the right moment for something new, or for something never released? We will be trying to share bits along the way, and of course plan to join us in May for the world premiere, and a look at the making of the 2023 EP Ambient.

So stoked to hear the new material! You can throw in one song you never released, we don't mind ?

P.S. Save Bridges of Stone for an official album, it doesn't sound ambient enough, but make sure you release it one day!

I've just purchased my stream ticket so I'm ready for the two stream shows. About the song though... It's got a very On And On type sound

I'm getting strong Zac vibes from the style of this guitar clip. Must be the rhythm of it!

Yes, that is always a good question. Is it time for Serious Woman (but then, wasn't that fully recorded already in Muscle Shoals?), or stuff like Time Will Tell, or that ever-elusive rock tune Start Working Harder or something like that?

Yulia, I agree that Bridges of Stone would need a bigger release, would have loved it on String Theory!

I'm not sure why, but the sound at the beginning of this video reminds me of Somebody That Wants To Love You! How about something new, something old, along with something blue?

Sounded ambient to me, too. I love little teasers like this and later comparing the whole song to what I thought it might be.

Thanks Zac. Any chance we could get a 7 song EP this year? Like in 2020 i think the EP was 7 songs. That was awesome.

Also on the topic of songs you never released, i'm still waiting for the song Faded Heart to be released :)
