We had big plans to record the new @vanessa_peters album with some friends at one of our favorite studios in Austin, but then there was this pesky pandemic and we got stuck in Italy. As the upcoming VP song goes, “there are plans, and then there’s how it all works out.”
So instead we’re taking all of our demo recordings that we made while on tour in the Netherlands and in Germany, as well as some new stuff we recorded here in Italy, and making our own “Running on Empty” (per @csadams04). We were lucky to have found these amazing farmhouses – a beautiful bright open space in Germany, a funky hippy barn in Holland, and a giant stone casale in Tuscany – all of which had incredible acoustics and great vibes. And yes, that gigantic cowhide drum you see in the 4th photo makes an appearance on the album.
This is also the first album we’ve ever made entirely with our band of crazy Romans – @andrea_colicchia, @matteo_patrone, and @ciancaguitar. These guys are all hotshot musicians and we’re super fortunate to have them on our team. They bring with them a fresh, modern sound that really brought the songs forward in time.
The result is going to be a record unlike any @vanessa_peters album you’ve ever heard! The only problem is… too many songs! The elves that live in the guitar cases keep whispering “double vinyl” – – – but will it happen?
