We’ve had our first two preproduction rehearsals for our 2009 album (yet to be titled).

At this stage we’re going through the 50-60 songs written for the project and choosing the ones we think will make the best album.

As many of you may remember, we started off life as a collaboration project — that meant 12 different songwriters and ten different genres for each album. Now that we’re a band, it’s amazing getting to spend days together listening to each other’s music and trying to make “a sound”. Having so many songs means we can pick not just the good ones, but also the ones which will work together as an album and that we’ll enjoy singing together for a while.

Below is our most recent video update on the process — check out the interview with Trent. He’s a nice guy.
