Mfa here....we are in the studio with producers Patterson and Jodoin. Engineered by Tommaso Colliva. We've moved on from Tecates to Jamison. Some bar-fights occurred.
My lord. We arrived with 15 songs and have cut it down to 12 so far. A week of fifteen hour days in a sweaty, little magical dungeon has yielded some of the most ambitious and heart-melting sounds we've ever created. A cool, refreshing audio water-slide. Is it rock? Is it soul? Is it pop? Is it rap-rock? (definitely not that one hahahaaaaa). We don't what to call it. You can do that for us later...
We do know that this has been life-changing week to say the least. The angels that have helped us are numerous: Thanks all who have donated so far and those who haven't. You are in our hearts all the same. We are making this record with love and primitive energy. We are recording at Stagg Street Studios in LA, ca. Everyone has recorded here. Our engineer in Tommy. He recorded the last 2 "Muse" records. He and Ryan are getting drum sounds right now with ross, our drum tech. Ross did drums for Micheal Jacksons "BAD," Rolling stones and Tom Petty records. It sounds really
good from the control room. More to come....

OUR PROCESS GOES LIKE THIS...
*Tracking: Music for Animals goes into the studio and plays their songs to get great drum and bass sounds. All great music has a strong foundation.
*Overdubs: Music for Animals layers vocals, guitars, synths, pianos, shakers and cowbells on top of the drums and bass.
*Mixing: Music for Animals goes away and let's producer, Michael Patterson (Beck, P-diddy, She want's revenge) do his magic.
*Mastering: an untold artform that is beyond the scope of this email.
