The Near Myths (minus Bernadette, sadly, who had to hold down the fort in Vancouver) will convene a little later this week for 3-4 days of intensive recording sessions to put down the last batch of tunes for our as yet untitled third album. You can't say we don't take our time with our work - it was just about this time last year that we recorded the first batch. Those are all just about polished up now. Songs on tap for this week are mostly Ben's: "Wilderness of Stars," "Flyin' Blind," and the intriguingly titled "Midway Through Neil Young's Life Journey." Also Jim's "Like Refugees" and "There Never Was Time," a final setting of a Byron Herbert Reece poem. We'll keep you posted!
