Some Stranger, the new project featuring former Daytrader vocalist Tym and artist Daniel Danger (who has done work for ABC, HBO, AMC, and LucasArts), have finished recording their debut release.
The band recorded the new material with producer Gary Cioffi (Transit, Misser, Long Lost), and have posted the following statement and video about the process:
"Well, it’s done. First batch of songs are recorded. The last few days included a lot of experimentation mostly; Working with sounds we’re not used to working with, trying different harmonies/arrangements/etc.
It’s sort of odd making a record like this having never played the songs live in a room before. They really took on a life of their own in the studio and songs we thought of a certain way ended up with a totally different vibe once we recorded them for real. It’s kind of ironic that the process of writing these songs through e-mails and such ended up so organic once we recorded them proper. We just kept adding layers and changing this note or that lead or adding a part here or there. It was more of a blank canvas than something you practice over and over with five people.
It’s off to be mixed by Vince Ratti (balance and composure, circa survive, etc). A song or two will surface very soon. Now we just need to make a bunch of music videos."
