Mission Accomplished.


Major combat operations in the new Squeaky album are complete. In our personal war on rock, we declare: "Mission Accomplished". The new album, to be entitled Squeaky, is finally mixed and ready to be mastered. Karl, our tireless (literally! He never gets tired... it's freaky) bass player and engineer, resisted the urge to kill all of us (how many times did he hear, "well.. i want to make just one more change"), did a great job mixing the thing, using nTrack, a peculiar but effective program. The album awaits mastering at Harry's house, and then we get to figure out how the hell we're going to print the damn thing. But any way you slice it, the record is great, it's our finest effort to date, it is our "return to form" disc, heavy on the guitars, light on the instrumental switching. 
Notable on the new album: Karl's string-breaking solo on Our Noise, Danny playing 2 independent drum tracks on Rocky Records, everyone but Harry playing piano at some point, and Danny singing.
You'll just have to wait to hear it, though.

You know, I think that song we recorded in my parents' living room in 1995 or whenever was done on the first version of nTrack. I'd have to ask Steinhoff....
