Inkstains (Acoustic)

Hey guys,

Both myself and Coptic are currently knee deep in the recording of acoustic EP's with renditions of songs from our most recent releases 'Inkstains' and 'The Sound Of Wings' - and some unreleased original material.

I've just finished another day in the studio working on the intro to the EP, an extended version of 'Mountain Of Glass' arranged primarily by Jon Reichhardt and Kieran Owens, and I'm really happy with how it's all sounding. It's been really interesting working in an acoustic environment, a lot of the time with my studio work it's about removing imperfections and trying to create the tightest sound possible; with this style of recording those imperfections and little humanisms are actually what make the tracks.

Attached are some photos taken by Harleigh English from a live rehearsal Skyline Productions recorded for us at the Red Bull offices in Sydney last week, can't wait to hit you guys with this stuff!

Handful Of Gravel - My Album

What's up, Guys?

So.. Clearly I suck at blogging and keeping schedules.

I attempted to blog every week, and I made two posts. I think it was a pretty good effort for someone that doesn't really have anything interesting to say, Haha.

Anyways, It's been a minute since I've given any updates in blog form, So I'm going to rant for a little bit.

So, We've almost finished recording my album, which will officially be titled " Handful Of Gravel ". Pretty exciting stuff, right?

I'd like to say it was a long year filled with blood, sweat and tears, But this year seems to have gone so damn quickly, and in all honesty, I couldn't think of a better way to spend the time than writing and recording an album. I really feel like I've put myself into this project, and hopefully when you guys finally hear it, You'll feel that, too.

There's a lot of personal songs on there, from talking to members of my family, to dealing with concepts and situations that I'm sure we all face and feel on a day to day basis.

My brother Elgen handled all the production, and I wouldn't want to release my debut album any other way. Even though He's no longer actively releasing records or persuing a career in music, It was a big thing for us to put together my album as a team, So hopefully you all dig what we hope is a cohesive album with our own sound.

I don't really want to give too much away, But just know I've got a few very talented features on this disc.. Including my good pal Steve Hollins, and ofcourse IFS's Phatchance. We've got a couple of very cool singers helping me out on a few tracks that I'm really excited to show you all, So hopefully I can drop you guys a little leak in the coming months!

I guess that's really about all that I can say at this point.. But keep an eye on the facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/OfficialJohnnyUtah) and also the IFS website, Because I'll be giving album/gig updates from there, and We'll also be launching a brand new website in a few months.

Thanks for reading, Haha!
