RUSH Guitarist Discusses Recording Process For New Album

Guitarist Alex Lifeson of Canadian rock legends RUSH spoke to Billboard.com about the recording process for the band's next album, "Clockwork Angels", which is due out in 2011.

"We've never afforded ourselves the luxury of coming off tour and then going straight into the studio when you're in top playing form," Lifeson tells Billboard.com. "We usually finish a tour and then we take some time off and we slowly get back into writing and then into the studio, recording. This time we'll go straight back into the studio and continue recording and writing while we're still in top form from the road."

Lifeson says RUSH is "a little more than halfway done" recording "Clockwork Angels" with producer Nick Raskulinecz, who also helmed 2007's "Snakes & Arrows". Two of the songs, "Caravan" and "BU2B", have been released online, and four others were recorded during sessions at Blackbird Studios in Nashville. "Certainly these two songs are pretty heavy indications of where the record's going," Lifeson says, "but there are a lot of different tonalities and soundscapes on the material that we've written so far, so I'm interested to see where we go on these next few songs."
