Since this site will be a "current events" type journal for the record, I think it's best to catch everyone up on what has been going on thus far!

Lyrically-
I have most of the lyrics for the album ready for demoing and pre-production. I definitely expect some of the lyrics and melodies to change and take shape as I start recording the final product, but I'm already really excited to demo these songs as is just to see!

Musically-
All of the songs have guitar parts set out and ready! Just like the vocals, I left a lot of room for change and growth and progression, but it's turning out to be a really fun group of songs to play for me personally. Though countless other instruments will be featured on the record as well, I'll most likely just demo the songs with lyrics and vocals.

Studio Preparations-
I'll be recording the album with my best friend and brother Ben Starr at Moose Tracks Audio. Luckily for me, he is the best guitarist I know and we have great musical chemistry, so he'll be featured on the album quite a bit. He has a great ear for music and always has good ideas. If there's anyone in the world that can make this debut record become monumental, it's Ben.


Looking forward to the days/weeks/months to come,
Matthew
