Cam and I have been busy recording this month, and it looks like we'll have something to show for it early in the new year (I can't believe 2008 is so close to OVER!). I know, originally I was thinking we'd have it ready for you by the end of December...but I should have known; I spoke too soon!

Anyway, I say "low-fi" in the title of this blog, because these recordings are the definition of home-grown. If any money has been spent at all, it's been on inexpensive instruments needed to create different textures, or subway passes for me to haul my butt to middle-of-nowhere Brooklyn, where Cam lives :) I wasn't really sure what I wanted this project to turn into when we started, but it's starting to take shape, and I know that at the very least, it will be released for all of you to hear. And I can't wait. It's been over a year now since I recorded my EP, and I'm really proud of the growth that's taken place. I'm excited to share it.

So stay tuned, chippies.

PS, "chippies" is totally an inside joke that just slipped into real-life. i'm going to leave it there.
