Wolf will be landing in California in a few days to record his long awaited new studio album.
Pre-production of the 12 brand new tracks has been completed in Sydney, Australia.
“It’s been nice to have had the luxury to spend a considerable amount of time on the pre pro
duction of this new album” he recalls.Mail’s previous studio release “Blue Fix” was recorded
during breaks on his world tour, with parts of the recording done in L.A , Paris and Sydney.
“We pretty much recorded when we were not performing wherever and whenever we could,
and I think the stress of the situation reflected on the album”.
On this upcoming release, Wolf is also spending more time on his song writing, “With a bit
of time to relax, I was able to open up and write about more personal and endearing subjects
a thing I‘ve been wanting to do for a while” he states.
The production aspect should also get a bit of a boost. Mail just signed a new deal with Cana
dian based label LEA Productions. “They pretty much gave us ‘carte blanche’ to hire the right
personnel and record in the adequate environment, and I'm going to try to make the best out
of it.!
