MY RUIN
Studio Update #3

Mick Murphy recording bass
MY RUIN — the Los Angeles based rock duo featuring lead screamer Tairrie B and husband/guitarist Mick Murphy — have been hard at work in the studio recording its sixth full-length album, “Ghosts and Good Stories”, for an early 2010 release via Tiefdruck-Musik.
Commented Mick: “Hello Friends and Happy Holidays! It’s about time for another update from My Ruin HQ so I wanted to let you know that the music recordings are now complete. I have finished the bass tracks for all 13 songs. It took 2 sessions and we rocked it. I used my Epiphone EB 3 SG bass and a very old Ampeg “Fliptop” combo amp that lives at Entourage Studios. It was a lot of fun to rock the bass lines and get some cool sounds along the way. I like to do the bass tracks last because you can get your doubled guitars tight and in tune without confusion, then you can customize your bass sound for each song to compliment the drums and guitar to really fill out the mix. It’s worked very well on this record and I’m excited about these bass parts. I think they shine and make the recordings more dynamic and big sounding”.
Josh and I are now recording Tairrie who is in the early stages of her vocal trackings. The Mrs & I have decided to spend the holidays in LA this year instead of down south in Knoxville like we usually do as we plan to be in the studio throughout the rest of December.Tairrie & I will also be celebrating our 1 year wedding anniversary on Christmas Eve as we get ready to ring in the New Year with our new album in 2010!
