RECAP:

When you’re tapped out, you’re tapped out. You can’t force yourself to be creative, some find a way when they’re in a rut but for the most part it’s best to take a breather. The day was spent cleaning up the songs we’ve been working on. No new recordings today, the time was used to edit and organize the sessions. I wanted to get the rough bounces in a better place and spent our session editing vocals and brushing up the songs.
