Between the Buried and Me are in the early writing stages of following up their salivated-over masterwork Colors. Bassist Dan Briggs posted the following update on the band's blog, where you can view photos from the studio.
"Four days into it we finished the first song for the new record. Some adjectives thrown around while writing it were 'noisy COALESCE breakdown,' '3/4 MASTODON groove,' '9/8 MARS VOLTA,' 'QUEEN chromatic build up,' 'MEGADETH chorus,' and a whole lot more. Just your typical start to BTBAM album!
I highly doubt we'll update this blog, I just wanted to post some evidence that we had started writing and were all really really excited and that there's an extreme abundance of great musical ideas flowing out of us. We're gonna spend the rest of December writing and relaxing before we head to Australia for the month of January. We'll pick back up with the writing in mid February after my other band ORBS records our debut full-length and everyone's had a second to regroup after the tour overseas. Get stoked!"
We're already there, Mr. Briggs.
