For a diversion while we are all waiting patiently for Chad to finish up The Dailies project, I have a little something to share with the Roadhouse… my band has been holed up in a studio for the last 6 months or so (if you count pre-production) working on our latest project. We just finished final mixes on Sunday, and we have the first mastered tunes in-hand (they’re going back of course, not perfect yet). But I couldn’t wait to share it with you guys…

I’m looking forward to getting back on a normal sleep schedule – we did most of the recording between 9pm-3am. There was a night last week that we were working on mixes and I got home as the sun was coming up… I didn’t bother going to bed. I did feel myself falling asleep at work and realized as it was happening there was nothing I could do to stop it. I don’t recommend it… remember – we’re professionals! I’m about 80% done with the album artwork too… the plan was to farm it out but nobody was ecstatic about the preliminary comps so I got elected.

A short sampler of the songs is available at salientband.com. All y’all’s expert feedback is highly anticipated! Come check us out this weekend if you happen to be in Iowa or Wisconsin!
