Our new CD is finished, and we can’t wait for you to hear it. The Professional Life Characters was written, recorded, mixed and designed entirely by our trio. As always, doing virtually everything ourselves was both greatly satisfying and completely consuming, but in the end we’re left with a product that looks, feels, and sounds exactly the way we want it to, and to us that’s worth it.
Thanks again to our friend Brian Lucey at MGM for his excellent job mastering the album, putting the final polish on a project the three of us worked so hard on. In my personal opinion, every musician should record and mix their own music, but nobody should master their own mixes. Keeping that in mind, I'd recommend Brian's work to anyone. He's not only great at what he does but he's also exceptionally reliable and, most importantly, he listens to what you want.
Join us April 28th at the Fort Garry Hotel when we release the new album in conjunction with the U of M Faculty of Architecture graduation after party. We'll be taking stage at approximately 8:00, up on the 7th floor in the Concert Hall Ballroom.
