![]() ![]() ![]() I'd test the mixes out while mowing fairways and greens. I spent most of that summer mixing the album and recording vocals in my bedroom while working at a golf course during the day. There was a little bit of recording done in our empty flat after. Down By The River was the first song we recorded, and we knew we were onto something after hearing it back roughly at the end of the day. ![]() It was a cold, windowless place, yet we were free to do as we pleased in there and we brought a lot of warmth in. Anywho, in November 2017 (after Uni exams), the four of us locked ourselves in our practice room for a week or so to begin recording Foreplay. Cheers, Mehrt ✌️Ī lot of the bones of this album was written by Jah and I in our third year university flat in Dunedin - occupied by 10 humans, 2 lizards, 2 rabbits, and one very free range chicken that would roam the house and garden. Thank you all for listening and for the ongoing support. Mild Orange = us really living the music and really doing this thing. We got back from tour, recorded Grin at my parents house and then I proceed to finish producing/mixing the album in my bedroom for about 9 months. We played a few of the new songs live there which really helped sculpt them. Before I had the chance to mix the album and do a lot of my vocals and guitar we headed to Europe for the Foreplay Tour. We then converted the place into a studio and got busy eating very well, swimming, riding the quad bike on the beach. Before recording the album, we invited all our friends out to the beach for a party and we played the songs live. A few songs we'd written in Dunedin, a few I'd written over the summer, and a few when we all got together. The house was literally on the beach, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. We parked up at the Reid Family beach house in Riversdale Beach, NZ for a couple months to record this album (cheers Paul and Fiona). ![]()
