So it's been a while.....

Yes it has! I spent January in a 12th century abbey in northern France recording Los's debut album. It really was an amazing experience, with the freedom to make music all day and night. We rented the space for three (very cold) weeks and managed to get fifteen songs fully tracked and use half a forests worth of fire wood! Each song was approached as an individual. We would start each day working out what sounds worked best for the song in hand and how we should record it, either live, layered or backwards.... Also trying to keep things fresh and not fall to much into a routine (aside from soup for lunch every day and Sopranos with dinner being obligatory)
Now I'm back home I have the alarmingly large task of mixing the record and making sure it does the experience justice. I'm also planing on renting the space again for a month in the summer and running it as a residential studio, so if anyone out there is interested in coming out to make a record do get in touch.

Here are some nerdy pics for your viewing pleasure.
