“Day 3 of Session 3… In the morning further energy was put into capturing the emotion of the different sections of ‘Burning Sand’. After a couple of hours with some re-amped guitar work and omnichord we all felt the character of the song was really coming into focus. As we worked through the next track ‘Pressure’ we also took time to reflect on work done over the previous two days, everything we’ve down sounds really together, simple and uncomplicated. For ‘Pressure’ we got some interesting guitar interplay in the chorus and a real highlight was the dulcimer part that Chris recorded – a steep learning curve with an amazing result. We also managed to track basslines for ‘Gas’ and ‘Salt in your Eye’ with Rich nailing ‘Salt’ in just one or two very impressive passes. Now to recharge the batteries before the May session, creativity is exhausting!
