Drums Are Down

The band have now unlocked the cave door and allowed the drummer back out into daylight after spending a week tracking drums for the new album. The grim reality of human inadequacy has been laid bare for all to see, the unforgiving metronomic tock-tock-tocking of the click track showing up all the mistakes and misinterpretations [...]

Recording Date Set

TDT are heading into the studio to record their next studio album. From October, the band will be in the studio recording and compiling the songs that will feature in their upcoming opus, currently titled ‘We’re not sure what it’ll be called but it certainly won’t be eponymous’. The initial drum tracks will be laid [...]

Like A Duck

All may seem quiet and contented in the land of the ‘Tree, but the band are currently doing their best impression of a duck. All serene and calm and graceful on the surface, but underneath the waterline, away from the prying eyes of the land-bound observer, their feet are going ten to the dozen, frantically [...]

Stroking The Ivories

See the keyboardist in his natural habitat of the dark and dingy recording studio. He’s so comfortable in this environment  he’s fully capable of laying down searing keyboard parts with only one hand. The poise, the delicately positioned cigarette, the almost jaunty angle of the headphones mark the outline of a beast at one with it’s surroundings. Either [...]

Now He Sings, Now He Sobs

 Welcome to the live update showcasing the boy Buckler laying down some lead vocals in the studio. As you can see, he’s on fine form, belting out the future classics that the new songs are bound to become. In time honoured fashion, the actual tracking has gone fairly well, but the replays and listening back in isolation [...]

Listening To Speakers…

I’m here in the studio recording drums for the next album. They sound good. I’m not as rubbish as I thought! For gear-nuts: Pearl Masters MMX 22″ x 18″ bass drum with Powerstroke 3 head, with small ported front head miked with a Sennheiser 421 with a little padding to kill the massive overtones, hit [...]

Tom Tickling Time!

This week will see the long awaited start of the recording process for the next album. Neil will be decamping for a week to the studio to record the drum parts for the forthcoming opus, under the careful and watchful eye (and ear!) of producer Karl Groom. The other instruments will then be added [...]

New material cont…

Sunday is now gone and in the past but our efforts on that day are now preserved forever in the digital domain. We met up at the Treehouse at 11am and began work putting the studio back together, we have that much gear now that the rooms have become filled with all manner of cool [...]
