Hey Furs/Furettes
James here for the first time after Dom commented that he’d like more postings fro the rest of us. I thought I’d oblige.
At the moment we’re working on a second suite of songs. Personally I class the first suite we did as Russia, Sequoia, Bird Clock, Just Woke up, Siesta Sun and Dog in a Garden. These where all written between October 2006 and May 2007 and make up the sets we’ve been playing live. We spent a long time practicing them and I’m quite proud of them. We’re heading to a studio this Sunday with the intention of recording Dog In a Garden and Russia which are unarguably the two songs with the best reaction. This should close that period.
We’ve moved on to a second suite of songs. We’re trying new things and making them more complex. Basically many of the first songs where a learning experience and now we’re trying new stuff out. If you’ve seen us live recently you’ll already of heard Flight, but other songs include (working titles.) :
- The Watchmaker: An awesome funk bass led work which we’ve been struggling with for a while. Hopefully with lyric and drum changes we can get it to work.
- Distance: This came from a Dom bass line and was written pretty quickly once we where all together. Apart from Flight its the closest to completion and has some nice new twists for us.
- Old Newy: Obviously a working title, but the resurection of one of the first songs Me and Nick wrote together. Its interesting in that Nick plays rythm guitar throught giving it a heavier feeling that much of our stuff.
- The Waltz: No music yet, but general agreement was reached we’d like to try something in 3/4 time soon.
- Severed Intent: A song that was intended for our second Alternation night, which was cancelled. It originally had Chris singing about an annoyed conversation with Seven Trent water, but is in need of a huge overhall. No demo exists of this due to it falling out of favor after the summer break. Although technically a member of the first suite, it will maybe feature in completely new form.
Anyway the plan is to work on these and other new songs and get them into live shows as soon as they’re ready. Hopefully we’ll go in Dance studio and record them for you as well.
Thanks for listening
