Recording started on a blustery winter morning February 2010 at Chemical Sound Studios in Toronto. We were for three days 11am-10pm mostly with Jay Sad and periodically with Dean. We recorded 10 songs of which 6 made the cut. The remaining four would not be recorded until over a year later at our own jam space. It`s interesting to look back now and to remember how feverishly we worked to get those ten songs done during the three days only to scrap four of them after we left. This I believe in large part had to do with our growing as a live band. We were starting to get a rep for how rowdy and rocking our shows were that something like `Amber`s Down The Hill` just wasn`t fitting anymore.
While the pressure was heavy and moments of vulnerability would hit often there were moments where the band was able to step away from it all...the dart championships, driving into the largest crowd at Yonge & Dundas not knowing Canada men`s hockey team won gold, Star Wars movie shoot in Chemical Sound, playing and headlining our first show ever at Sneaky Dees in the middle of recording, or Ian rocking our world on trumpet for his part on `Flashing Of The Number`.
Cut to about a year later we had worked three brand new songs into our set,`Your Love Is A Shadow`, `The One You Love For Free`, and `Down Night Owl`. Each of these were received very well at NXNE 2010 that it was decided we record them for the album at our jam space. One more track `Houston` would be recorded less a month before mastering.
This brings us to now. The album is complete, and it is free. In the next week or so I will post the lyrics and explanations behind them...because I love that shit.
We hope you enjoy,
