Brainclaw spent Sunday with Gary Billings, recording a fantastic new song called “So I Surrender.”

It’s a powerful vocal and acoustic guitar song, and really showcases Gary’s voice at the top of its game.

He will most likely have it posted on his MySpace page very soon.

As always, it was a pleasure working again with such a consummate and passionate professional. Remember that Gary’s solo album called Grey Skies,is now available:

Track Listing:
1. At All
2. Stay
3. Reaping the Wreckage of My Past
4. Castles in the Sand
5.Your Life of Uncertainty
6. Hannah’s Lullaby

You can buy CDs or digital downloads from CDBaby HERE. You can also buy the CD from Isotank.com.

For more info, see Gary’s MySpace page.

The album is a departure from Gary’s work in Carfax Abbey, and his voice and guitar playing are at their peak.

This is a pure, unadulterated look into Gary’s complex soul, with no frosting or artifice. Please give it a listen, it will be well worth your time.

Tara and I had a fantastic time reuniting with Gary again in our own Studio Auroviral, where much of the Carfax Abbey back catalogue was written and recorded.

Studio Auroviral (Brainclaw’s in-house recording facility) is completely back up and running at 100%, after having been rebuilt around a brand-new, dual processor Powermac G5 running Digital Performer 4.12.

Digital audio is now being handled by a Mark Of The Unicorn 828 Mark II 96 kHz 24 bit Firewire audio interface. Other minor renovations include Sonex sound treatment in the Control/Composition areas, and a custom audio desk built around the new configuration.
