It’s been a somewhat unexpectedly long journey, but the songs are mixed at last! Jeff Lewis put his usual deft touches on the “Amigos” and “Connie” mixes on Thursday night, and they are both rockin’, but in very different ways. Stay tuned for more updates…

Tracking is now 99.9% complete on our new songs, “Amigos” and “Connie.” They’ve really taken shape!

Our gratitude to last night’s ace session man, Cliff Kane, who came in and really put his stamp on “Amigos.” Cliff is a signature part of the Paperplanes‘ sound, and is hands down the finest pedal steel player in Long Beach. He’s been kind enough to sit in with us on a couple of shows in the past, and we’re especially glad to have finally got him on a track!

After Cliff took his leave, Eric’s trusty Juno synthesizer got a workout as we pushed “Connie” into kraut-y new places. Dunno how it will turn out in the end, but it’s going to sound BIG.

Next up: mixing!

Last night, Mark Bush came in to add some super-rad new trumpet parts to “Amigos.” Good luck to Mark as he hits the road with Voodoo Glow Skulls later this month!

Tonight, work resumes in earnest. Guitars! Keyboards! Pedal steel! Jew’s Harp!

Productivity (i.e. critical listening, note-taking) quickly gave way to synthesizer tomfoolery…

We spent two evenings last week at the Compound and made major progress on “Amigos” and “Connie,” two new songs that we hope to finish early this year. Check out what the fun looked like (sort of) below!

Our big thanks to Rob Harvick (Dalai Sonido, Fast Dragon) for drumming his ass off on these tracks, to Matt Guy (the Bumpers, Forcefield ON) for throwing down some spicy horn parts, and to Micah Panzich (Paperplanes), Robb MacLean (Limbeck) and Jeff Electric (Downtown/Union) for making time to join us on gang vocals. We are in awe of their individual musicianship…check out those bands if you haven’t already!

More work is to be done–keep it here for more updates as we beat these songs into submission in the New Year.
