This has been our busiest year yet…and we haven’t gotten to interact with you as nearly as much as we would like. So much has changed since last year. Great things have been underway, including a completely new album and a west coast tour.

As most of you may know we have been feverishly working on a self titled full length album for too long. It was a beast, and at times we wondered if it would ever see the light of day.

December was coming to an end and a new year was beginning…this is when we took a real left turn…and had a true epiphany. We decided to drop the old album, all the work that we put in it, all the money, and time, frustration and heartache…and a new album was born.

We now have a new direction.

Since January, our hands have been glued to our instruments, our ears stuffed in headphones, and our brains wrapped around our new conception. All our time has been spent writing new songs, reinventing old ones, jamming together, and constantly strengthening this new concept album.

Most musicians understand all that it takes to make a record. There is so much involved…physically, mentally and emotionally. It becomes your child…you want to spend all your time with it, play with it, hug it, love it, and make it love you back!

Your album becomes your life…until it grows up, and you can push it out of the nest.

August will be quite a memorable month. We are not going to be recording this album ourselves, which is a first for Spindle! We are handing this tedious task over to a mastermind Engineer/Producer and we’ll be recording our first session at Bear Creek Studio in Woodinville, Washington.

Bear Creek is an amazing place; a converted barn located on acres of secluded forest. It hosts a plethora of different recording rooms including: The Big Room, The Wood Room, and The Hippy Room. And aside from the decadent recording options, the location is absolutely gorgeous and unbelievably inspiring.

They’ve recorded artists such as Team Sleep, Alice in Chains, Built to Spill, Modest Mouse, Foo Fighters, Soundgarden, Gossip, Lionel Richie, The Album Leaf, Blonde Redhead, The Black Heart Procession, Tragically Hip, Eric Clapton, Pretty Girls Make Graves and more.

Many of those artists have inspired us through the years…it’s an honor to be recording in the same creative place as them. We are so excited!

We’ll be writing a daily blog and posting photos while we’re in the studio. It’s our way of sharing our experience with you.

Be sure to check back throughout August for the first blog.

The blogs and photos will be posted on our…
