<p>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…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/news/blog/6183455/the-near-myths-convene-to-finish-recording-third-album">Read more</a></span></div>

<p>A DJ and Reviewer’s Guide to Words to Burn/The Near Myths
If ever an album disproved the myth of the sophomore slump, Words to Burn is it.  Reeling from the loss of founding member Andy Oglesby, the remaining Near Myths turned the final recording sessions into a glorious wake for their old friend, completing work on three of his songs.  Taking their cue from such harmonizers as Fleetwood Mac, The Mamas and The Papas, and CSNY, The Near Myths are eclectic New Millennium vagabond mongrels, infusing…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/news/blog/6183450/you-don-t-have-to-be-a-dj-or-music-reviewer-to-enjoy-words-to-burn-though">Read more</a></span></div>

<p>WORDS TO BURN, The Near Myths' second album, is now officially in production.  January 28 is the projected release date.  The album contains thirteen songs, which allows the band to stretch out stylistically.  This time around you'll hear a bit more jazz with "Slip across the Border," a piano-based ballad featuring Bernadette's debut as lead vocalist, and a bit more rock with "Need You Gone," Jim's hard driving anthem.

<p>I could probably write a book on this subject, to tell you all the truth, but briefly, what it means to me to be one of The Near Myths might not be what the uninformed music buyer these days is prone to think. Yes, it's musical on a certain level, but these people know each other in quite a few contexts outside of musical matters, and each one of these good folks has grown in potential over the years. Most of them have day jobs now, and some of them even have grandchildren (most of them being a bit over…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/news/blog/6183447/short-treatise-on-being-a-near-myth-by-teep">Read more</a></span></div>

<p>It's official - the name of The Near Myths' second album will be WORDS TO BURN, a phrase lifted from Andy's epic "(Take Me Back to) Dillard Street."  We have heard a rough mix of that song, and it sounds good!  Katy and Jim went back to the studio on September 23 to overdub some 12-string guitar, banjo, and harmonica.  Check out some new photos from the 2006 sessions in the Photo Gallery.  More to come!</p>
