honest

it's pretty typical of anyone who keeps a blog and goes on a lengthy break from contributing to/writing on it to begin their next post with an apology and/or a reason for being absent. so let's skip that part...also rather than detailing everything we've been up to since we last posted, let us just dive into what are future looks like.
we are currently very excited because we have a series of great opportunities ahead of us.

we have been writing songs over the past year while touring, rehearsing, etc that we really want to record. thankfully we will be entering the studio for the next couple of weeks and next month. it is very exciting to be back into the recording process. it is such a different aspect of being a musician, and since we lack the funds to build our own studio (right now) we don't get to do it quite as often as we would prefer.
the world around us is changing, and because of the type of writers we are even meeting new people and having experiences on the road...or even books that we've read over the past few months, we have so much that inspires us. because of all these influences, new/different gear, I can promise you...the reader/friend/fan/listener that our new songs and recordings are going to be different.
bands promise people all the time that they are taking a fresh approach to either recording or writing...and to say it even seems like a stale and overused description of what our vision for the future of The Modern Society is/will be. however, even speaking personally...there will be changes, there will be a different approach to recording...it is what helps keep things fresh, new, entertaining, etc.
For the most part we have dug into records deeper than we ever have before...making mental notes and really thinking about how to appropriately create and represent our songs in a recording...we will be (for the most part) taking this endeavor on ourselves, which we have (up to this point) never really done (besides tape demos we do in Tyler's loft) and that too is very exciting.
all in all this is your update. I write it in hopes that you will be as excited as we are.

much love turtle dove,
