IN-THE-STUDIO REPORT FROM CABLE



Cable
has now finished tracking their new album, "The Failed Convict," which is expected to hit streets this spring via The End Records. We have obtained an exclusive account of their time in the studio from Cable's Peter Farris. Here you go:

"Well, we've done it. Made THE Cable album. Right now none of us care what anyone thinks. We've made the record we've always wanted to make and it's beyond satisfying.

"It was a tough gig, though. Randy, Fish, Bernie and Vic worked more than a year crafting the songs on The Failed Convict, probably the longest the guys have ever taken to solely write an album. But the hard work and preparation paid off, and we owe the amazing Joel Hamilton at Studio G, along with his assistant Fransisco Botero and partner Tony Maimone a huge thanks for realizing this record for us.

"Where to start?

"DAY 1: It was a pretty outrageous schedule, and one which Joel certainly handled with ease. We tracked drums, bass, and basic guitar for 13 songs on Thursday, March 5th. A lot of hours in the practice space showed, as the guys nailed a majority of the songs in one or two takes. It was certainly fascinating to watch Joel at work during basic tracking. The guy doesn't just get great sounds, but his aptitude as a producer (not to mention mixer) knows no bounds. He's got a sense for performance and songcraft, and at times he was able to point out flaws or make suggestions that only made The Failed Convict that much better. With such a tight schedule, Joel wore several hats and did such pretty effortlessly. (Hell, the guy was basically a sixth member of Cable)
