It's been 906 days since we started here. Wow. Bob Pollard would shake his head in disappointment.
Since the last post all the work on the album has been towards editing, aligning, and mixing tracks and coming up with ideas to change things in production, which have resulted in some pretty great final products. If I don't say it anywhere else let it be known, here, that I think Anthony Jackon's contribution to the final product of this album is gigantic and awe inspiring. He is a visionary and a craftsman and deserves more credit than we will be able to give.
Which, speaking of, is the other item of business we've (ie mostly just Anthony Jackson) been working on. Art, layout, notes--all of it is being worked on as we speak and I've seen some of the drafts and it's really mind blowing. We're creeping to that point where things are all coming together and we're starting to see the Squigglevision™ version the final product we've only been visualizing in our heads and it's better than we could have hoped.
All of that said we still have a ways to go. I have a punch list of items that I have to do musically, and a couple of verses that I've decided needed to be re-recorded and/or re-written. We still have a couple of tracks waiting for Anthony to go over and we have to finalize a lot of the art and notes and layout. I'm really looking forward to arranging the release and getting the final decision on whether we'll do a physical release, so stay tuned for that. Most people who care about physical releases generally only care about the vinyl release but a couple of us are die-hard CD fans so we expect a vigorous debate over which mediums we release Monstrosity on, if we release it physically at all. Please let us know on twitter or Facebook if you have an opinion!
Thanks for sticking with us. I promise it will be worth the wait, even if it's another 906 days.
