We began official work on the new Squeaky and the Futures album today. We tracked a new song today called "Summertime Now". The song contains a drum machine, bass, organ, acoustic guitar and 4 vocal tracks. We experimented with running some of the vocal tracks through the p.a. to get a rich reverb-type sound. The whole song took about a hour to write and record. Roxy, Alex and I collaborated on the lyrics. It was a fun afternoon and the girls enjoyed singing. They especially enjoyed doing the la-la-la-la back-ups.
The album theme was also discussed. We all agree that the album will be summertime in theme and feel. Summer is the concept and a good one at that. Most of the songs will be joined under this concept. We also have set a goal to finish the album before the girls go back to school. This project will be an organic extension of our first release. Looking forward to writing and recording the bulk of the project ahead of us.

Well, that sounds like a fun summertime project for you and the girls. We'll be waiting to hear it!
