So, as my blog entries have become less frequent and my schedule becomes exponentially more packed with Athens, Georgia recording artists and beyond, Dream Boat(Page Campbell and Dan Donahue of Hope For Agoldensummer and Great Lakes, respectively) has been back in the studio, following up their debut album with a whole new set of songs and basically living in the studio for the month of March. They literally came in with 80 songs!
We landed on a little over a dozen and somehow the second record is even more brilliant than the first. In addition to Page and Dan, the new Dream Boat album features performances by John Fernandez (The Olivia Tremor Control), Scott Spillane (Neutral Milk Hotel), Kris Deason (Dark Meat), and Heather McIntosch (The Instruments, Elf Power, Lil Wayne).Young Benjamin continues to make it into the studio every few weekends to cut new songs for his upcoming fall LP. Ryan Monahan (Easter Island) has also been in the studio off and on, recording singles rather than a concentrated album effort. Brett Vaughn has also been in the studio here a few times lately, gradually recording tracks for his new EP, which is filled with existential, somehow religious, yet agnostic songs. Both pacificUV and Electrophoria have been in and out of the studio working on demos and initial tracking in preparation for their summer recording schedules, and both bands have late July deadlines for wrapping brand new LPs here at Popheart Productions.
k until next time xoxosuny
