| A
lot of local tongues are wagging about the next band that's begun
recording at John Vanderslice's Tiny
Telephone studio. The low-key studio is the choice spot
for analog-nutty indie groups with champagne taste and Budweiser
wallets, such as Beulah, Granfaloon Bus, Oranger
and For Stars, who have made incredible-sounding records
there. So what the hell are platinum-selling stadium rockers Third
Eye Blind doing taking up residence at Tiny for five
months straight?
Well,
they're preparing to make a record, says Vanderslice. While rumors
that 3EB are putting all of the studio's vintage gear in storage
and replacing it with digital counterparts are unfounded,
Vanderslice cops to the presence of the almighty Pro Tools, the
digital audio recording software. So far, the boys have enlisted
some of Tiny's house staff to work on the record and let
Vanderslice bum some of their cool old gear to use while recording
the follow-up to his new album, Time Travel Is Lonely, due
to be released on Barsuk next
week.
