Our Recording Journey

A little over a year ago, we started an exciting journey that led to the creation of our new album. It was an intense yet incredibly rewarding experience, and we wanted to share some of the behind-the-scenes moments with you.

Months of Practice: Getting Ready

Before we even thought about stepping into the studio, we spent several months practicing. We wanted to record the album live, which meant we needed to be tight as a band. Our rehearsals were intense, but they brought us closer together and made us feel more connected to our music.

Five Days in the Studio: Making It Happen

When the big day came, we were ready. We recorded 13 songs over five days in our old practice studio, now called the Soundbird Studio. Our good friends Matthijs (also a former Boyle member) and Douwe produced and recorded the album, and also brought in an analogue tape recorder! It was a lot of hard work, but it went surprisingly smoothly. There were long hours and quite a few takes, but we were in it together and that made all the difference. Recording live was a challenge but it also brought out the best in us. We fed off each other’s energy and created something we’re really proud of.

 

Adding the Finishing Touches: Vocals, Mixing, and Mastering

Once the basic tracks were done, we took our time adding the vocals over the next year. We wanted to make sure everything sounded just right. Then, we worked with some great professionals to mix and master the album. Their input was invaluable and helped us polish the final product.

 

What’s Next: A Sneak Peek

We’re really excited about the new album, but it’ll be a little while before it’s fully ready for release. In the meantime, we’re planning to release one or more songs later this year as a preview. We can’t wait for you to hear them and get a taste of what’s to come.

Thanks for being part of this journey with us. Stay tuned for more updates, and we hope you’ll enjoy the new music as much as we’ve enjoyed making it.
