Hold Dear recorded their christmas song today. If you've not heard of them they're quite a new, but very fun band. I recommend getting along to one of their shows asap.
We opted to keep quite their song quite stripped back, its really enjoyable as it is, we considered bass and maybe drums but really it probably would've detracted from the song. I got Jonny to double the acoustic guitar part with a roomy electric, I wanted to get some of the acoustic sound of his pick hitting the strings in there too so just set him up sat infront of his amp with the volume down and put a mic a wee bit away from that. (see the last photo)
We tracked the two vocals together with Chloe and Jonny facing each other to help with their phrasing and just general feel of the vocals.
Chloe recorded some Melodica and then I got her to quickly double it on the piano.
It was a REALLY nice day again here in Oratia. Wow. Hello summer!
