With about 20 or so songs under his belt, Jason Lytle and his band of bearded brothers are now well into the recording of their new and third album. Titles penciled into the mix at present are:
The Warming Sun
Fifty Percent Less Words
Build a Box
Yeah Is What We Had
The Go In the Go for It
Now It’s On
Emit Anymore
Fairchild describes the last track as something like the ballad version of ‘Master of Puppets.’
Rumoured to run a wide field of highs and lows from the star-spangled and uplifting to the gently warming the album is thus far the result of hours and days spent stretching and testing their new 24-track machine in their own recently constructed studio. AS band member Fairchild suggests: “We’re professional now, with a technician coming from the big city to align our new machines, allowing us to begin work in earnest.”
Lytle, Fairchild and Grandaddy drummer Aaron Burtch appeared recently helping out ex-Pond vocalist Charlie Campbell’s new project, Gold Card, arranging and recording the album track “Rabbit Song”.
Although not in any way endorsed by the band themselves, February sees the release of ‘Concrete Dunes’, an ‘all-new’ b-sides collection but that allegedly consists of two prior but little known import releases.
The band are also known to be starting an indie label of their own with the release from the Arm of Roger.
