Dappled Cities record Zounds

Dappled Cities at Big Jesus Burger studios

This Saturday Dappled Cities new album Zounds will finally go on sale. So i thought it opportune to dig these snaps out of the archives from September 2008, in the first days of recording at Big Jesus Burger with US producer Chris Coady.

At the time Dappled Dave told me they were intending to make it a quick recording process, recording a song a day, all live in the room together and then spending a few weeks tinkering afterwards.

All up it was supposed to take 6 weeks but it ended up taking 5 months and 3 different producers.

Like making movies, recording is largely spent killing time, waiting for things to happen, playing Backgammon

Chris helps Ned fix up his ageing keyboard

More killing of time - Tim chats to engineer Simon Berkfinger - also of Philadelphia Grand Jury renown

Alex sports some fashionable and practical headwear

Allan Kumpulainen - he bangs the drums

You can pick up the album this Saturday and catch Dappled Cities on their nationwide tour, starting tomorrow night in Frankston.
