Grow April Release and New Website!

I’m sure all of you have been patiently awaiting the much anticipated release of our new album “Grow”. Well, the wait will soon be over. All of the audio material has been completed and as soon as we get cover art, etc. squared away we will send it off to be pressed. So hopefully by mid-April we will have a product on our hands. Its gonna be a double disc, original sides and dub sides mixed by John Morand and Bryan Walthall at Sound of Music Recording Studios in Richmond, VA. We’re all really excited about how it sounds. Along with the release of “Grow” we will be unveiling an all-new website with many more new and exciting ways to experience Crucial Elements. Stay Tuned….It won’t be long….

Grow album is almost complete

josh — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 06:45:57 +0000

We have been working on “Grow” for months now and it is finally near completion. All 12 songs have been recorded and mixed by engineer, Bryan Walthall at Sound of Music Recording Studios in Richmond, VA. and are awaiting to be mastered. This project has taken a lot longer than we all expected and cost a lot more money but, trust me, it sounds amazing. “Grow” should be complete and ready to hit the streets sometime early 2011. In the meantime, though, we will be posting some sample songs here on the site and on our various other online outlets. Stay tuned.

For the past few months we have been writing new material and re-working a few old tunes. This new material is currently being recorded at Sound of Music Studios by engineer and dub technician, Brian Walthall. Although the recording process is taking a little longer than we thought, the new album entitled “Grow” should be ready to be released by late Summer; hopefully by mid-august. Stay tuned for future updates and sneak peeks at the recording process along with sample album snippets.

Its been over two years since we recorded “Jamocracy” and we’ve written a lot of new songs since then. Pretty soon we will go into the studio to record these new tunes. If everything goes along as planned we should expect a release date sometime in the early spring. Just thought I’d keep everyone posted.
