GLAZED LP 1 STUDIO BLOG - DAY 3
Valdosta, Ga. - Murphy’s law don’t got anything on Glazed. Seriously, we are on schedule!
Day three began with gray skies, heavy rain, light hail, wet roads and bass guitar. Recording music can be trying at times. Especially when you’re playing the same song over and over and over and over again until you hook the golden take. But all we can do is hope the public will enjoy it, because we’re putting 110% of our willpower into this record.
There’s a total of 10 songs, possibly 11. We’re rerecording four songs from & Confused. Why? Because we want to give them the quality we know they deserve. See, songs are like children, they grow up, get weird, make mistakes and learn from them. In other words, even our old songs aren’t exactly the songs we recorded in St. Augustine last summer. There are subtle changes we made to them that give them a fresher angle.
So, how about the new songs? I would say we wrote them with a pop sensible mindset, while remembering our roots at the same time. They are still punk rock af, but with pinches of the right amount of mass appeal - a song called “Tyler’s Song” is perhaps the black sheep compared to our entire discography. It’s a song Skylor Leblanc and I wrote in his attic two or so years ago while in a short-lived band called Brat Pack. Sidenote: The only show we ever played was with Joyce Manor (NAME DROP) three years ago. We had a three-song set list that consisted of a Kid Dynamite cover and two original songs. One being “Tyler’s Song” and the other being “Chelsea, Lately.”
We ate Hip Hop Chicken for dinner. I’m starting to think our band’s favorite food is fried chicken. Seriously. We are always down to eat fried chicken.
Tomorrow, we start guitar - the moment Reid and I have been waiting for these past three days. There are many guitars to choose from, most can be heard on fairly well-known songs, too.............. Will we base our selection on superstition???? Find out tomorrow!
