Album set free |
We sent the album out to be pressed for vinyl. Bye bye album! We're not going to post tunes or anything until everything is ready. That could be about a month or so. We chose the album art, and now we...

Mastering is done. Now all the other stuff begins. |
So save for a few tweaks to fades and spaces, the first Summer Ono album is done. It's a good Spring-like feeling we're feeling. We'll get this album up and out once we get the vinyl taken care of (pe...

drums done and every time rough mix |
We finished tracking all the drums. Now for the final takes of guitar, keys, bass and vox. And we fend off the urge to overlayer on everything. I imagine hauling around big, sloshing buckets of sound....

Key and Spear |
I just posted an old song of ours called Key and Spear. I got nostalgic in the midst of recording all this new stuff. We recorded this song pretty early on, and it's actually just a spontaneous jam th...
