Sara's been crushing it on drums 24/7, by the way, to step up her game for this new stuff.. have I mentioned she's been playing drums for 1 year?  Goddamn.

We're recording the demos basically the same way we recorded most of The Scratch Tape... i.e. an SM57 on my guitar and this dynamic Sennheiser mic Lee has on Sara's drums.. going into a Scarlett 2i2 interface with Reaper on my PC.  We manage to get pretty decent sounds out of this.  Sara and I do drums and guitar live, then Sara does her vocals, and then Lee lays down some bass.  Then I do some fumbling around in Reaper, which tends to have results only a tad better than if I asked Dixie to roll around on my keyboard while I have Reaper open.

You'll be able to catch some previews on here in the coming weeks/months, so stay tuned.  In the meantime, I'm gonna be doing a lot more journaling and other things on here.  Soooooo, our tumblr's gonna be getting pretty cool basically is what I'm saying :)
