Recording album 7!

The Sexy Accident is nearly done tracking our 7th full-length studio album! Our producer, Steve Fisk, flew out from Seattle and spent a week with us at Westend Studios in Kansas City. 

For the first three days we tracked as a unit, throwing down takes as a band for twelve songs, eleven of which will appear on album 7. One will be held back for a secret future project. ;)

On day four we switched to a combination of lead vocals and guitar overdubs, with Ryan taking the lead.

By day five, Jamie sang her first lead and a bunch of backing lines, letting us hear a few songs in full for the first time.

Finally, Jesse and Steve spent a day or so wrapping up the last of the lead vocals and adding acoustic guitars, keyboards and percussion.

We worked brisk 12-hour days throughout and said farewell to Steve after another satisfying, successful session.

Jesse and Jamie are currently finishing the last of the backing vocals with Justin Skinner of Found a Job and Kodascope manning the control room. Then the tracks fly to Steve in Seattle for him to mix.

We're not sure of a release date, yet, but we'll let you know as soon as we do!

Happy summer. :)
