As you may or may not know, I’ve been in the recording studio since Thanksgiving working on a new album. I use that term loosely in the sense that it’s not an album with never-before-heard songs; rather, a complete re-recording of my 2008 album See That Gleam.
Though I care deeply for the songs themselves, I’ve always felt that the original recording of See That Gleam didn’t do them their full justice. I was younger then and didn’t quite know what I was doing. That said, from top to bottom, I have decided to re-track the album in its entirety and will be calling it Another Gleam.
Best decision ever.
There will be a full preview once the songs are completed; however, for the time being, I’d like to show you a glimpse at the differences between See That Gleam 2008 and Another Gleam.
NOTE: Keep in mind these tracks are NEITHER complete NOR mixed. I still need to add bass and other production elements. Though they are far from finished, just listen to the blatant difference.
