Back in July 2023 I went into the studio along with the rest of Salter Cane.
We had been practicing a whole lot of new songs for over a year beforehand. Now we were ready to record them.
We went in with a shared approach. We were going to record everything live. We were going to prioritise the feeling of a particular take over technical accuracy. And we weren’t going to listen back to every take—that can really eat into the available time and energy.
This approach served us really well. We had an incredibly productive couple of days in the studio collaborating with Jake Rousham, who we had worked with on our previous album. We ended up recording eleven songs.
After that burst of activity, we took our time with the next steps. Chris recorded additional vocals for any songs that needed them. Then the process of mixing everything could start.
After that came the mastering. We hired Jon Sevink—fiddler with the Levellers. He did a fantastic job—the difference was quite remarkable!
We decided to keep two songs in reserve to have a nine-song album that feels just the right length.
The album is called Deep Black Water. It’s available now from all the usual digital outlets:
We decided not to make any CDs. We might make a vinyl version if enough people want it.
I really, really like how the album turned out. These are strong songs and I think we did them justice.
I hope you’ll like it too.
