And the winner is...?

The band got together on friday night to review the mastered mix and decide on the album's front and back covers.   We gave three local artists the lyrics and session mixes from the record and left them to their own devices.   Lennie Muscarella, Cathy Bileti and Bethany Beams went wild, drafting everything from pop art to photography to photoshopped likeness of the band on marionette dolls.   In the end, we choose a piece by Bethany Beams.   The finished product will look very similar to this:

In all likelihood, all three artists will be exhibiting some of their work at the CD's release party on April 18th.   

The mastering is superb!   I went back and forth about posting some before and after clips... and I still think I will but not until the record is out.   For now, I will leave you with another track.  This one didn't make the cut, but very well may make the next record.   No vocals were tracked, and the drums & bass are scratches.     "My Way Around" is what we called it.

Peace,
m.
