SILVERCHAIR Hard At Work Recording New Album

July 17, 2006

SILVERCHAIR's official fan club, The Llama Appreciation Society, recently reported in their quarterly newsletter that the band is currently in Los Angeles recording their as-yet-unnamed fifth album. The guys started formal pre-production after the "Great Escape" show in April with two weeks in Sydney. They then decamped to Los Angeles with all their gear and spent another two weeks tweaking arrangements before commencing recording in late May.

The band are recording 14 songs but, as always, some of them may not make the album.

The newsletter also reported SILVERCHAIR are recording in a small studio this time around in the hope of capturing the same energy and inspiration which existed in the intimate rooms where they first learned the songs. For a more authentic "feel," backing tracks are being recorded with all instruments being played together as opposed to the usual layering.

At this stage, it looks like the L.A. part of recording will be completed shortly. The plan is then for more recording in Europe before returning to the U.S. to start mixing the album in August. If all goes well, this would allow them to release the album in Australia in November/December. This date of course is very fluid and can be influenced by many factors.
