Making the Summer EP - Putting it Together
Ok, so the summer EP finally started to come together nicely - I’d lie if i said it was easy though! First of all, you should never rush this - I mean making an album. But I really wanted to get it out in time for summer - and the songs that have been forming for this album felt really special and perfectly fit in the concept. But they also felt like something that needs crafting to let those little exciting parts to manifest. They are not perfect by any means, if anything, their simplicity and crudity is what I like about them. Something I have been trying to replicate since “Lockdown EP” - so simple, a little rough, but clear and to the point. I suppose overthinking and overdoing were to be avoided here. Hence this time round when recording, I only did some basic mixing on the instrumentals and left them sitting there until vocals were ready to go - so essentially not overpolishing them before the all tracks were in their place. Might sound straightforward but this is not how I used ...
