Working on a few new tunes that are going to be a bit more dynamic and airy than our usual fair, but definitely still rock. Finally, it feels like we\u2019re creating the musical energy that goes with the lyrics. <\/p>\n

I\u2019d say that the new direction (which ranges from haunting, similar to \u201cEgypt Eyes\u201d and \u201cOracle\u201d to somewhat progressive, like \u201cWaves\u201d) expresses the lyrical content better. When we first wrote Waves we were concerned that it wasn\u2019t as heavy as much of our material, and it turned out to be one of our more requested songs. It\u2019s so great that our friends\/fans are such flexible and open minded people!:-) <\/p>\n
It can get so easy to box yourself in to a style or format that is familiar\u2026 but I\u2019ve been feeling for quite a long time that I wanted more dynamics, and finesse in the set. I\u2019d really like to see everything from keyboards and acoustic guitars added to the shows, with sonic room for Brian to use all the huge variety of sounds at his disposal\u2026plus more air around the vocals. It\u2019s expansion and change, and that\u2019s always good. We won\u2019t drop our rockers, of course\u2026 but adding new energy \u2013 change- feels important now. I feel change in the air!<\/p>\n
It occurs to me that when we find ourselves stuck in ruts, even the smallest change can give us new direction. And the best part is that nobody knows what the new direction will bring.<\/p>\n
Can\u2019t wait to finish the new songs!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
