Progress

This album is taking far longer than I expected. I think that's probably a good thing, but it's still hard for me to believe I began writing this a year ago.

Things got very busy in March and April, and recording came to a bit of a standstill.

BUT...


Progress is being made. Several weeks ago, Michael put down some drumming and Darby contributed trumpet and some of his patented banjo-bowing. Now Justin is emailing me bass parts from his new place, and things are finally starting to come together. There's still a ton of work to be done, but there is an end in sight, even if it's a far-away light. It's all sounding very different than previous Antlers recordings, but I think it's a good direction.
