Mixing Complete! Welcome Matt Fry to the Band!

We are finally finished mixes for our new album! Below is a pic of Lewis mixing the album at the Black Iris Studios in Echo Park. Lewis likes to pretend he is in an igloo when he mixes records. Mastering is happening on May 31st!

In other news, we are happy to announce that Long Beach guitar genie Matt Fry of The Soft Hands is now an official member of Happy Hollows! Matt has been jamming with us occasionally since waaaaay back in the day. We invited him to come into practice with us on a more regular basis when we started writing this record last year and since then he has really inspired us with his great guitar work and kept us laughing with his funny stories about the many dates he goes on. So please welcome Matt to the band! Here is a picture of him from a show he played with us last year:

Happy Hollows @ Make Music Pasadena

We are going to be coming out of our studio hibernation to play at Make Music Pasadena on Saturday, June 16! Hope you can come out!

Tracking Finished! On to Mixing!

Sarah finished up recording vocals last week so we are done with tracking for the new album!



Now we move on to mixing (aka The Twilight Zone). We'll probably be tweaking the songs for a couple of weeks.

Below, check out a 1950s oscillator that we used as a synth for one song.



Here is a picture of waaaay too many pedals:



Here is another little preview video!

Album II Update III - Working on Vocals

Sarah is deep into tracking vocals and, as of today, singing for 10-12 songs is complete. She is able to get through about two songs a day and we take a break every couple of days to let her voice rest. When she's in the vocal booth Sarah has a big box of supplies including raw honey, licorice tea, bark syrup, a magical rose quartz crystal, water, and a little whiskey. Check it out:



We are hoping to finish vocals and overdubs this week and finish up mixes by the end of the month!

Here are two more little preview videos.
