Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!  This long overdue update is intended to let everyone know about the status of the new music.  We have worked throughout 2007 to record tracks for the new album.  There are two more songs to be recorded.  After that, there will be additional percussion and vocal sessions for the entire project.  We will probably resume work after Christmas.  The new material has really been fun to play and record.  As the songs continue to take shape, new layers of melodies and instruments have found their way into the arrangements.  We look forward to taking this process as far as we can, and presenting it to everyone.  Thanks and have a great Christmas!

Street Survivor Promotions has issued the following statement regarding the work-in-progress recording sessions for the forthcoming Tribes of Revolt album:

The music recorded thus far takes the introductory Tribes of Revolt sound into a new sonic and artistic realm. At times, the new songs evoke the unconventional sensibilities of the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds album combined with the elegance of Dead Can Dance’s Within the Realm of a Dying Sun. Orchestration, bells, and hammered dulcimers wind around the steady drive of richly-layered acoustic guitars. Contrapuntal guitar melodies recall the near-eastern jazz of the Grateful Dead circa 1974.

Studio update

Basic tracks have been recorded for about 40% of the second album. As of right now, the album is divided into three song cycles. The band has recorded about half the songs for the first cycle, and almost all of the songs for the second cycle. Still writing songs for the first song cycle.

Also... currently writing a different series of songs for a possible electric/heavy album. If this concept doesn't work out, these songs may surface in the first song cycle on the second album already in progress.

Just a quick update... the band has been in pre-production mode, working on new material in various stages of completion. The band has been recording demos and working on arrangements for some of the new material. Some of the songs are still in the writing phase. The new material so far goes way beyond the first album in both writing and arrangement.

Last night we finished up the first day of shooting for the "Dawn of a New Day" video.  There will be at least one more day of shooting for the video, and possibly a third day.  The first day was very fun and the material looked great.
