Singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Chris Doheny and guitarist Joe Matera began recording sessions this week for what will become Geisha's first studio album to be recorded since 1989. The album will be the band's fourth official studio album to date.
The band are currently holed up in a Melbourne studio under the watchful eye of legendary American producer Tom Werman.
During the '70s/'80s/'90s, Werman manned the desk for many U.S multi-platinum acts' albums such as those by Ted Nugent, Motley Crue, Twisted Sister and Cheap Trick to name but a few. Werman came onboard after hearing some of the band's impressive new demos.
Says Werman, "
I was particularly delighted to contribute to the production of 'Birthday', since I could hear all the appealing elements of the song right in the demo and was reminded of how I used to approach the tunes that exhibited so much potential as single cuts".
Says Doheny, "
I'm really excited at returning to the studio to make Geisha's next album. I believe this will be the definitive Geisha album as the new material is some of the best I've written to date".
The new recording will also be the first to feature guitarist
Matera who joined Geisha late last year. The new single, titled "
Birthday" will be released prior to the album's release.
