Wednesday, August 02, 2006Strong Enough To Light Up the Horizon OR Austin-tascious Hey friends,
I should have been in touch a lot sooner, but me and the boys have been recording a new one, and boy, I think you'll like it. Mr. Charlie Sexton is the producer on this one. He came up to Toronto about a month ago where we recorded ten bed tracks. The vibe is very live and fun, the band having recorded almost completely off the floor (live). I don't want to reveal too much because, well, just because. You know what I mean. I'll put together a studio retrospective when it's all done. There was a lot of documentation and so you'll get the full picture soon enough. I'm currently in Austin, Texas where we are finishing up the recording and mixing. I arrived the day before my birthday. We set up in Charlie's house, where it is very relaxed, and got to tracking the last few (actually quite-a) instruments and vocals. You may not know or remember Charlie Sexton, but he is one of the most incredible musicians you will hear. He's a guy who was taken under the wings of the Vaughn brothers, Stevie Ray and Jimmy, here in Austin, back when he was just young. He went on to do his own stuff, play in the Arc Angels, and then become a highly sought after collaborator and producer. He's been regaling us with stories from playing with Bob Dylan. He's a hilarious mimic, by the way; his Springsteen is amazing even if it is a little offensive to yours truly. In any case, Charlie's the man. He hung out at Ted's Collision with us every night after our Toronto sessions. 'Ted's! Ted's! Ted's!' we would chant upon nearing the day's end. The players on the record are the usual 'holics: Doug, Jeff, and Gavin. They all kicked gigantic ass. I was the weakest link, by far, and should be completely ashamed to put my name on the cover. Unfortunately for them, I ain't ;) Anyway, I want to load up a bunch of photos and stuff for y'all to check out (yes, I say "y'all" now - as well as "reckon"), then I will elaborate on what's been taking place. I'm here for another couple of days, then I'll return to the grind. My grind is barely a pat, but it's my grind. I sincerely think that you will like what we have done. I can't wait and am extremely excited for you to hear it. Y'all's truly Peter xox

Peter – I can’t believe you are recording your new album with Charlie Sexton. That is so fucking cool. I remember seeing Dylan play a show a few years back in Quebec City and it came time to introduce his incredible band…he did it with that unmistakable Dylan twang “Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Charlie Sexton…” Ah…Zimmy.
Can’t wait to hear the new album. When are we likely to hear something?
Sometimes I forget about POO when I get caught up in other things.
Then I remember how much I like it and I take it out of its case and inevitably a good time is had by all. I think I can safely say that we all await with bated breath for the new tunes!
