I have finished recording the album!!!
I feel proud of myself having written, performed, produced, and financed every track on the album. It really does feel like a piece of me and an accomplishment.
There were times when I didn't know what to do with songs, whether to keep them, rework them, or scrap them altogether. There are songs that didn't make the album. Something like 20 tracks were recorded in various forms in the process. B-Sides?
What I found most interesting when going through the tracks was that 4 of them including the title track hadn't even been written when I started recording the album.
(Sirens of Brooklyn, Follow Me Home, Fishnet Sailor and Before You go)
It felt so strange running the final mixes, to be commiting to something so final. I don't ever really consider anything final. It can always be reworked, improved, expanded or condensed.
Next up...mastering and artwork....
I've chosen photos from a selection of shots taken by the very talented Carrie Thomas.
Graphic design is being done by the Joe Velasquez who I worked with on the website.
I've been warned of post-pardom depression. I must keep myself busy and tend to the baby when it comes.
Now, I can feel the contractions taking over my body like convulsions...back to giving birth.
