HIGHWAY EXIT


YOUTH HOSTEL

Back to the studio since early September to finish off the new album. Spending half a day every single day at SCA studio mixing and recording bits and pieces forgotten and left since we stopped recording in August. Nick, Anthony, Jason and Spyreas in 2 or 3 people shifts. Our manager paying visits from time to time.

Working titles for some of the new tracks: “Free Falling”, “Be The Devil”, “I’m Pregnant”, “Not The Kindest Person”, “I Know You Well”. We’ll keep you posted about the progress of that.

We’ve also just completed a song for Dimitra Galani’s new conceptual album, a reconstruction-kind-of project of an older tune (“Tipota”) that proved quite interesting and creative. We tried to actually make a new song out of an old one and I think we did.

In the meantime, last week we made a video (more…)
