Guess the picture...

We have invented a competition during the many hours of waiting in the studio.
It can help lighten up even the darkest of moments...
This is two of the best pictures.
What is it?

Recording strings

Almost 2 weeks in Kensaltown studio and it's starting to sound like a really good record. Of course we haven't started on the vocals yet, and we are planing on doing that in Malmö this summer with Per, but the music is falling into place.
The past two days we have recorded some strings and some great organs and keyboards. Fun fun fun!

We have decided to stay until Wednesday next week to finish everything.

studio

8 songs are tracked and we have made a little break for lunch; Nikolaj's Danish rye bread with egg and mackerel. Then we are going to track the ninth song.
Tracking means nailing the drums and the base, after that Lisa and Malin go down to the little studio downstairs and do the guitars. But while tracking though we sit everyone together and play the songs, so that we get the same feeling and know what every instrument is going to play.

Back...

...in London this week and the next to record our third album.
It sounds crazy that we're already on our third album, but when you've got the flow you might as well go with it, and after working on and off in Tambourine for half a year, we never really stopped writing and producing new songs. So we figured a new album would be the right thing to do.

We arrived yesterday and met with the Suppliers, the four Danish guys producing the album together with us. The idea was to go through the songs and rehearse them a bit before todays recordings, but we ended up just drinking coffee and chatting. Instead we rehears one song, and when we've found a good version we hit record. That way we'll manage to track two songs a day, and then we can use next week for overdubs.

We have just had lunch and are starting on song number two now...

Last week...

... we spent two days in Tambourine Studios. The purpose; to re-record some of the vocals we did in London.
We felt they needed another tweak and the touch of Per Sunding's magical fingers.
After some hard work we managed to take the song to another level.
On Wednesday we will cut and edit what we did, and hopefully have a finished song by the end of the day.

A good show!

Go and check out Asha Ali on Babel in Mamloe on Wednesday!
A very talented woman...

/Calaisa

Another member.

Calaisa has become 5. The fifth member is very small and not yet capable of playing anything, but he's with us all the time, and we expect him to learn quickly.
His name is Svante and he was born on March the 29th. So Anna's big belly is finally gone.
