@joeklees22 came up with this brilliant riff for Eye of My Dog!! We layered three harmonies and another low part for a call-response feel. Incredibly grateful for what everyone's out into this album!!! #funvsdeath #saxophone #dog #rocknroll #recordingstudio #portland #newmusic #theendoftheworld

Good morning! I finished a new round of mixes, starting the day with a review of this wonderful thing we've made together. Now 34 sessions into tracking/mixing, and it's the best album I've ever been a part of thanks to everyone's help and support. This belongs to everyone that helped. #funvsdeath

Part 3 of @chuck_mcmuffin tracking guitar for Eye of My Dog on the new album.

This is the end of the song.

So stoked about these new parts!!!!! #funvsdeath #guitar #rocknroll #recording #newmusic #dog

"This is temporary,
If you don't know what you want
You might already have it."

Eye of My Dog got this dreamy new part added at the latest session with @chuck_mcmuffin #funvsdeath #guitar #rocknroll #recordingstudio #newmusic #portland #pdxmusic

This is @chuck_mcmuffin tracking for the first song on Album 2, Eye Of My Dog.
I love this song. One of the oldest, the first rehearsal recording was in 2021. Really looking forward to sharing all this in a few months.

Thanks for following along, it really does mean a lot to me. #funvsdeath #music

The one and only Saxophone Joe bringing the heat!
Fun fact, Joe's Saxophone survived a house fire and was restored when he was a kid. #funvsdeath #saxophone

@chuck_mcmuffin creating some wild atmosphere layers on the new track "Think Of Me"

This will be the last track, 10/10 on the new album.
Enjoy your Tuesday evening. #funvsdeath #guitar #rocknroll #newmusic

Timothy Morris tracking bass for Electra City! So fortunate to have him on this album. #funvsdeath #bassguitar #rocknroll

@joeklees22 brought this rad sax riff in to lay down on the new track Electra City.

A rough version of this riff was in the original demo take, stoked this one made the final cut. Just 4 more tracks left for Joe to wrap up Album 2. #funvsdeath #saxophone #pdx #rocknroll #newmusic #recording

Back at it with @chuck_mcmuffin

This track is called Think of Me.

This will be the last track on Album 2. We're bringing in some old friends to collaborate soon. So stoked about this one!

Try to have a wonderful weekend everyone.
I'm going up to Mt. Hood for some rest.

Spent another evening with @joeklees22 laying down harmonies and layering parts for Soul Saver.

This track is like if a drill Sargent was your dance instructor. #funvsdeath #saxophone #rocknroll

This was February 3rd 2020, we were working to finish tracking on our first album
A Timeless Classic.
@joeklees22 laid down this beautiful sax work on the track
All The Time. #funvsdeath #saxophone

Out of all of Joe's super rad parts, this is the only vid I took in the session. It's one note of a three part harmony, all Joe needs is one note! YES!! #FUNVSDEATH #SAXOPHONE #ROCKNROLL

In love with this new riff! Day 2 of tracking guitar for Soul Saver, @chuck_mcmuffin busts this out of no where. We both immediately knew it was making into the track. Yes!!! #funvsdeath #guitar #fender #rocknroll #recordingstudio #guitarist #riff #newmusic

Yesterday I got into tracking keys for the new track Soul Saver. This one has come a long way, so much fun to play. Right now it's track 5 on Album 2. Wrapping guitar on Wednesday with @chuck_mcmuffin for it as well. #funvsdeath

Spent yesterday really dialing in my sounds on keys before more tracking. I primarily use the @arturia_official collection. Also patches ripped from my Juno D that I'll often layer. This track is called Electra City coming to Album 2. Have a lovely Sunday. #funvsdeath #arturia #synth #rocknroll

These Lazer guitar sounds brought to you by @chuck_mcmuffin . The Whammy pedal is an amazing tool, used in almost all of the tracks on Album 2. This song is called Soul Saver. #funvsdeath #guitar #whammy

This is the live room where we rehearse, write, jam, etc. The live room is above The cab is micd with a vintage Shure 575sd on back pointed right at the hardwood side wall, front is a standard 57, odd grill so I usually back it off a bit more on this one. #guitar #funvsdeath #prs #trainwreckamp

@chuck_mcmuffin brought some incredible new parts in last night. This track is called Soul Saver, probably track 4 or 5 on Album 2.
Had a blast working together on this one!! #funvsdeath #guitar #rocknroll

Hello. I found motivation this weekend! Yes!

I brought my synth rig into the studio. The rain and warmish weather were nice coming through the open door.
This track is called Super Market-man, track 3 on Album 2.
This track belongs in the Matrix Mario Bros. mashup we all deserve. #funvsdeath #synth

Joe gets low with a baritone saxophone. #funvsdeath #saxophone

The one and only Saxophone Joe laying down takes for Electra City. #funvsdeath #saxophone

This track is called Disco Grifter. Here's a very rare shot of @chuck_mcmuffin NOT using 2-3 distortion pedals. He really brought some gorgeous parts to this song. Just three tracks away from wrapping guitar for Album 2.

Thank you!

#funvsdeath #guitar #prs

Back at it again, @chuck_mcmuffin
laying down some ethereal unreal sounds. This track is called Disco Grifter, it's track 8/10 on the upcoming Album 2. Have a great day! #funvsdeath #prs #guitar

@chuck_mcmuffin working on a few different versions of a lead part on the track Cool Pool.

Guitar is finished for this one now. Getting so close to finishing tracking for Album 2 now! #funvsdeath #guitar #prs #rocknroll

Chuck Mcmuffin finishing up takes on Cool Pool. #funvsdeath

Happy anniversary to our first album A Timeless Classic. To short here, better writeup on Instagram though. Happy Valentine's Day. #funvsdeath

For this track we pulled out the Strat with active EMG pickups. There's a lot of delay/reverb from the pedals on this one, the EMGs punch, more articulate sound that worked really nice to bring clarity to the parts. Two amps, Marshall Origin 50 for clean and pedals into a Twin Reverb. #funvsdeath

Joe tracked sax for this track, Cool Pool, on Tuesday @chuck_mcmuffin started on guitar last night. Up to track 7 of 10 on Album 2 now! I think by May we should be wrapped up.

#funvsdeath #fender

@joeklees22 arranged a three part harmony on sax for this part I play on keys. Then he tracked all three parts, twice. This is the second day of tracking sax just for Cool Pool. Sounds incredible all together. It's hard waiting until it's all done, I'm so excited to share this new album. #funvsdeath
