Every time I get on here, I laugh at the amount of time that has passed since our last update and how much things have changed. So here is a little update.
Where to start?
Canoes is, and will be for awhile, Luke and Kile. Having gone through several different stages of what we were and wanted to be, we started writing out songs and tracking demos. Our interaction while writing is pretty awesome. Super creative, yet intentional. So while it would be amazing to have other members, until we can find people who’s commitment matches ours, we have decided to keep it just us.
What was originally going to be a full length album has since been broken down into two EP’s. We tracked out ideas for the first 7 tracks and approached Joe Dunplap at The Bongo Tree Recording Studio. He liked the ideas (probably lying) and we started planning out recording time.
This however, presented an obstacle. Who would come play other instruments on the recordings? After a whole lot of messaging, texting, delays, cancelling, and general chaos, we entered the studio November 26 at 8:30am with Luke tracking both guitars, Kile on piano and lead vocals, Dave Paulet on bass and our old drummer and good friend Adam Simmons on drums. After 14 hours, we left the studio with solid foundations laid for the first two tracks.
We already have 3 more dates tentatively set, and our just waiting on confirmation. We are really excited to finally get this stuff recorded and in your ears. I also plan to keep this tumblr updated with all sorts of stuff. (We will see if this actually happens) Until then, keep your shoes tied and your ears primed.
