Today, whilst showing my mother our new songs we recently recorded it gave me the opportunity to listen to each of the tracks as if it was an album - Which is our overall goal. I sat there and thought about how great the songs were sounding, how these demos are already sounding huge. I imagined how they would sound once they were double tracked, had additional parts and being a polished version of what i was listening to. It made me realise how close we were to having an albums worth of music. Song wise we only have five complete tracks but it works out about 35 minutes worth of music. An album usually clocks in around 40/45 minutes on average and even though to me it still feels we are just starting with this album, we have way more content then I thought. In my head it seems we still have months of writing/playing shows and recording demo's at every possible chance before we even think about structuring album.

Again we are heading into the studio this week to record another track. It's a new track, one we only wrote during our last practice session, but it gave us a great excitement. It's strange how we can sometimes work for weeks on a track before its a finished product and others we work on for a couple of hours before it feels right and then have the urge to use it. I wont say any of our songs are finished but there are at a stage to were we feel comfortable playing them live.

We have one song confirmed for our next release and we just need to decide on one more, which is going to be the hard part...

Love.

Bear Song Sessions #001

So we have wrapped up in the studio, four brand new demo recordings. The tracks will be used to help shape our next record as we continue the writing process for Bear Songs.






Two of the songs will be recorded again in December and will be featured on our next release. I'm sure these demos will be floating around soon so keep your eyes and ears peeled.
