the dead dead bird

 edit: ha ha, i didn’t see that sarah had already written about all of this, oh well

 oh wow. suddenly after the weekend we are almost done with the album and ready to send it off to be produced.

friday we went and hung out while our cd was mastered. it was interesting and boring at the same time. the masterer, who is a master of mastery, is mr. carl saff. he was cool and gave us coffee, which was a mistake in sarah’s case because she went insane and talked the whole time. he has an insane techno setup in his basement, complete with back issues of tape op, which is how you know he’s legit. the cd sounds really good now, nice and loud.

saturday i worked on some album art ideas that we didn’t end up using.

sunday we did SEEERIOUS work on the album cover. don’t want to give too much away but we scanned in some abstract stuff i had done for raw yang back in the day and then ben went all in-design on it, and it looks good.

here’s what’s left:

* officially approve the master and get the real master cd and the info track sheet for the pressers

* finish up the little fiddly parts of the album art like what goes on the spine etc.

* set up a cd release show and get to work on making people care about it and us
