The new record is nearly done, we’re in the final stages of mixing and mastering and hope to have it finished by the end of the month. Once that happens we plan to shop it to some good indie labels and release it sometime in 2006. In the meantime feel free to listen to three of the songs (“Shiny Things”, “Free”, “Sirens”) posted on Audrey’s myspace at http://www.myspace.com/audreyryan. The record has been worked on with several people like Dave Westner (who did the debut “passing thru”), Chris Rochon, Hrishi Hirway, and Nick Zampiello. And it sounds great, a little more in the indie rock/pop direction and less jazzy like the first record. There are also some good shows coming up in 2006 plus Audrey’s playing with some new musicians like drummer Dave Moore and bassist Barry Gross (who has actually played several shows but has been in Europe for the past 8 months or so). In any event, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, and Happy New Year…
