Hot Summer Days But Cool In The Basement

The past few days have been extremely HOT here in the Rocky Mountain State. The basement crew that makes up the Anonymous Collective roster ramped up for some new music making to beat the heat. 

Yesterday, my daughters Roxy and Alex recorded two new songs for the upcoming Squeaky and the Futures summertime album. It was nice to sit back in the engineers chair and watch the girls work. It was our best recording session yet. Everyone was very relaxed and upbeat during the two hour session. Roxy started out by picking a beat on the keyboard and sang along with it. Then, Alex added glockenspiel and her little guitar. The girls also added some keyboards to the tune. Then, it was Alex's turn. She also picked a beat and sang with it. Then, Roxy put some electric guitar and keyboards on Alex's tune. A good day in the basement for sure.

Today, EXACTA Box recorded our 2nd single of the year. It is called "Photo Finish". We wrote it last week during practice. Got everything down sans the vocals. This is the first song recorded with the new DW kit, sounds thick. In true EXB fashion, we also tracked a wacky little b-side that was entirely off the cuff. Also, we wrote a new song called "Mama Taught Me Right". The writing process has proved to be a breath of fresh air for both myself and Anthony. We have been playing together for over a year now and continue to refine our music through different projects such as EXB and Out of Area.

EXACTA BOX will be releasing a series of singles for on-line consumption and downloading.
