Over the past two weeks the 7 Worlds Collide collective have been busy recording new songs at Neil Finn's Roundhead Studios. Reports from Roundhead are that everyone is genuinely excited about the process and with all three studios functioning at once, new collaborations are being borne by the hour! Twenty five songs have been recorded so far (as at midnight January 4th), and with more recording scheduled for the rest of the week, the potential is boundless.
