STUDIO UPDATE #5
Me and the boys have tracked the basics on 11 songs for my new album, in a record three days, and four hours. I’ve never worked so fast, with so little effort, and felt so free. Everything was cut live to tape, without a click track. Can’t wait for you to hear. Pledge Update #5 [...]
