Yesterday we went into the studio with Sarah Howells from Halflight and laid down some beautiful vocals for album track ‘The Awakening’. It’s the second duet on the album and one of the weirdest pieces of music we’ve ever written!

Here are some photos from the session:

This weekend, we were back in the Studio, recording vocals for album track ‘Open Your Heart’.
It’s a duet with Ben and Helen Andrews (pictured).

Huge thanks to Helen for singing and being on our album!

From Jim via text:
“Think we could have a big sweeping strings line in the chorus. Full on ‘everything must go’ string epic euphoria! Also…maybe it could be a [DELETED].”

I like the idea of that. It definitely needs something to make it a stand-out track. Unfortunately, because of the looped chords, it requires extra things to hold interest. I had the thought of stealing some other chords from one of our reject tunes - I have a wealth of them! - for a mid-section, like Cloud7. Not sure though; what do you chaps think?

On the subject of [DELETED], we were going to add [DELETED] to the bridge of Contradiction, just to make it even darker. Is that still on the cards?

This isn’t so much a blog post, more a series of questions. Sorry about that!

Rob.
