ALBUM UPDATE
The band is making a lot of progress and spent the night at KDS Studios listening very LOUDLY to some mixes of the new record and it sent us into sensory overload! This studio is where the legendary John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin recorded his solo album ten years ago and other artists such as NIN have done work there. If you haven't already done so, turn up your speakers and jam to a new song, "We're All Space Cadets" as the website loads up! As you know, we have been working with producer Justin Beckler and now with Masterlab Studios for the mastering of the album. For a more in depth update, check out this new blog! http://thedropastone.wordpress.com/2011/06/14/the-dropa-stone-studio-update/
