After Albertane... What’s next for Hanson? After a solid year’s worth of promotional touring, press conferences, recording sessions, television appearances, mass public hysteria and now a summer concert tour, are Ike, Taylor and Zac looking forward to a little break? We might take a little time off, says Taylor, but we’re going to start working on the second album very soon. I think you’ve got to let yourself chill for a little bit before you dive back into the studio, but not too long. Probably just a few weeks. Recording, Isaac says, especially the early stages is just fun for us. It’s a chance to put down your ideas.. to experiment... to be inspired. We have a lot of songs we’re excited about recording. We’re writing songs all the time, says Taylor Right now, we’re considering several places where we might want to record the next album, but we haven’t decided yet. We’ll spend some of our recording time in Tulsa because it is great just to be at home. Then we’ll see what happens. Hanson is hoping to have the new CD in stores by the summer of ‘99. Hanson also plans to release to release a long form video this Fall chronicling the Albertane Tour. You’ll see more than just a footage of the show, says Taylor. The video will have lots of behind the scenes footage showing what we did in some of the cities and the different places we visited. Everything from a look backstage to life on the tour bus. In addition, there’s a strong possibility that right after the tour ends Hanson will release a Live album of performances recorded on The Albertane Tour.
