Hi all…
I just wanted to give a quick update on what’s going on with the new record. I am currently sitting in my home studio getting ready to record some additional parts to some of these songs. Most are completely done & some others still need some new parts to be added. Most of the album has already been mixed by myself & Chris. We will re-examine the overall mix before submitting it to be mastered. I’ve been playing these songs live all over Portland & they really hold up. Actually, a couple of them have become setlist closers because they feel strong & the response they’ve gotten has been overwhelmingly positive.
As for the release date & plans, we’re off to a great start. We started an Indiegogo campaign right before the holidays & the response was great. That response is now our foundation for the next leg of our goal. Our goal is to fund the mastering of the album, pressing it to vinyl & also releasing it to all online digital music retailers (like our last 3 albums). To those that contributed to the Indiegogo campaign, THANK YOU!
It’s safe to say that we’re very excited to put this album out. We’ve both worked very hard on it, but we want to make sure that we’re putting it out in the right way. While it’s been “done” for a while now, it’s not done. I can assure you that we will continue to keep you updated on how it all unfolds. Once we have all of our ducks in a row, we will let you know more about the pre-order process.
Until then, we can’t thank you all enough for your continued love & support.
Quick bump for the NW people. I'm lining up gigs for 2015 & the next show is on 2/21 at Insomnia here in Portland! Shoot me a pm for more info. Cheers!
Matt and I continue work on the 4th LP - we're reviewing each song carefully before we hand it over to be mastered. Its a painstaking process - and one that takes even more time since he and I don't do this for a living. Stay with us good people - we are developing plans to have this album pressed to vinyl and offer a package different than what we did with our failed Indiegogo campaign. Stay tuned here for information, or visit our original post on links to follow us.

The album is definitely coming together. I'll be recording some additional tracks next week while we both finalize the mixes before handing it over to the engineer for mastering.
One thing that jumps out to me right now is the clarity on this album. Every voice, instrument or nuance has its own space. Really loving how it's coming together!
Hey all - Matt and I were on the phone last night talking about the new album. We have begun doing our final reviews of the songs and will be preparing a new fundraising effort in June to have this record mastered and cut to vinyl. We will have a larger update for you all next week, so stay tuned! Thanks for all your support through the years - we are so very grateful for it!
**Quick album update that Chris posted on our page. Things are really picking up & I will be working on mixes today!
Hi friends, family and fans of Cluthe/Lee!
It’s Chris checking in from rainy Columbia, Missouri! So, it’s been some time since you’ve heard from us! We hope you are all doing well out there. Cluthe/Lee’s fundraiser through Indiegogo ended in early January and we were able to raise just over $500 towards completing the new album and having it printed to vinyl. Since the fundraiser ended a number of things have been in motion with the band. First is the completion of the 4th album! We are currently in the final stages of reviewing the songs we want on the new record and its going well. There are about 12 songs in consideration and they are all very fitting of the band’s style and sound. We’ve divided up that group of songs and are each making final adjustments, overdubs, new parts, mixing, etc,. Once Matt and I feel like they are as finished as we can make them, the next goal will be to launch a second fundraiser to hopefully get the rest of what we’ll need to not only mix/master the final record, but to have it printed up on vinyl! We are in touch with a number of vinyl production facilities, as well as a sound studios/engineers and have a solid amount we figure we need to get this project finished. If you ended up donating to the Indiegogo campaign, we will do our best to honor the pledge and prize level promised to the best of our ability. Our hope is that once fully funded, everybody who donated get a copy of the new album at the very least! The timetable for the new fundraiser launch will be June and will continue until we reach our goal. I think this second attempt will be more successful as we will not have any time constraints attached to it. This means we are not going to use any fundraising vehicle’s this time. Since Matt is actively touring the Portland area this year, there may be some chances to engage him at a show and donate that way. We will also be making past albums available for purchase as part of raising funds towards the 4th album project.
So, what else is going on? Matt is touring the Portland area this year and has some very big gigs lined up that I hope you can attend! (info below) Visit Matt on his Facebook page and check our Cluthe/Lee Facebook page for all the touring details! Matt has also been hard at work on his first solo record and while I haven’t heard anything from it yet, he told me recently I will get to play on some songs which I’m completely stoked about! He’s also continued to write songs that could very well be included on a 5th Cluthe/Lee album in the future! Look for a personal update from Matt very soon! As for myself, I have been less active with the band from a writing standpoint focusing more on raising my 2 year old daughter and starting a new career this past year. I assure you all that Cluthe/Lee is very much alive though and you’re going to start hearing from us a lot more in the coming months.
If you guys have any questions and/or feedback you want to share, send us an e-mail at presentlyfalling@gmail.com or message the band on our Facebook page. Thanks for all of your continued support the last 6 years! We are both so very grateful for it and to all of you!
