It's been a really odd year for us so far... Laura and I haven't been this musically active since the "glory days" in 2004. It's crazy. And yet here I am, posting the first EB blog entry in five months... I guess our attentions have been in other projects lately. We've been spending a lot of time with other bands, either performing live with them or recording and producing their material. And that's not to mention the soundtrack work...

Between that and an almost compulsive lust for production software, it's amazing that anything EB ever gets done. But I have a seven track disc in my car that says otherwise... Writing's been relatively brisk for the next album. Although Laura and I haven't sat down to do music in easily nine months, we're still collaborating. I burn a disc of ideas, she listens in her car and emails me the occasional vocal melody as recorded from her iPhone... Or maybe just a new vocal melody idea that I just build a track around... It's a little odd, but seems to be working.
