The lucky ducks in Textures have the luxury of taking their sweet ass time to craft the perfect follow-up to their stunning 2008 release Silhouettes. That’s because they’re recording at guitarist Jochem Jacobs’ own Split Second Sound studio in Amsterdam, and only good things can come when you aren’t constrained by time and money… unless you’re Axl Rose.

While we already know Textures’ new record is going to be pretty much the best thing ever, for now we’ll have to settle for a little taste of all the savory goodness to come in the form of a video update from the studio. We get to hear what sounds like pre-production in the background while drummer Stef Brooks lays down his tracks, and we also get a glimpse into the creative process and how things are going with the two new band members.

Watch, get excited, then try your best to wait patiently for the next update.
