I spent this week in the studio with FisherKing. It was a massive week but such a great experience. I have never really been involved in a recording that was this professional. The studio had such a warm vibe with all these rad lamps and low light. Even though it was pretty hectic, when it wasn’t your turn to record it was pretty easy to relax.

Genevieve, who ran the studio and was our producer, was an absolute blast and really brought the songs to life. Since Genevieve is a guitarist as well, it meant that I got to do some cool things; play with a few amps, swap between different guitars, experiment with pedals and different combinations, layer guitar tracks one over the other, plus (my favourite), getting a massive Marshall Stack, turning it right up and getting different feedback sounds for a whole song. Too much fun! I was giggling like a little girl which even came out on the recording.

It was hard to take photos since we didn’t really want to distract people recording and also since we were usually distracted, but I did get a few that I was happy with.
