“I was in pre-production mode for three months, you know we were meeting four, five days a week here at the studio, working at arranging and writing the songs. Then you’ve gotta shift gears into tour mode and it’s a whole different set of songs. It’s just shifting gears sometimes is hard. I wanted to keep working on the record but you know, of course, I want to tour as well,” Ness said. “We just spent three months arranging and kind of orchestrating 23 songs. We’ll pick the best 12 and then we’ll go into the studio in January and record ‘em.”
