The Feng Shui Ninjas are back in the studio, recording tracks toward our as yet unnamed second album. We're really excited about the sound! We've written a tremendous amount of material since Garbage Pizza was released. Was that just eight months ago? Time flies!

Over the course of this year, the entity known as the Feng Shui Ninjas has grown ever greater than the sum of its parts. The band just does stuff seemingly without direction or control from any individual member. It's amazing to be part of it. Meanwhile, we've all grown as musicians as well as a band, and the new sound reflects that.

Of special interest is a recording just posted tonight, "Eponymous #1". This song just sort of wrote itself at a rehearsal one night, with lyrical and musical input from all four band members. We can't even tell you who wrote what line! The scratch recording heard here was made a mere hour and a half from when the first notes of the riff sprung from Dave's guitar, and it's pretty much the finished form of the song. Wow.

Another shining example of where we are now is "Horror Movie (demo)". The acoustic and electric guitars, vocals, and theremin synth were all tracked in first or second takes while Dave and Justin were still learning the song from Tami, and she had to read her own lyrics to get through. But the recording is amazing!

We don't know when we'll have the album done, or what it'll be called. But it'll be something else!
