I've got a load of tunes that I want to record for a mini-album, maybe a full one depending on how it goes

this is my project

thing is

those recordings were made with programmed drums

This time I want the whole thing completely raw

But I can't work out whether to use just bongos or a small drum kit or both

I'm not recording james blunt type cack so I definitely need some form of rhythm

Most of the songs are inspired by Brant Bjork so they need that groove impact

Just wondering if anyone has an opinion or if anyone has experimented with acoustic music to know what works best?!

Also any advice on knocking the EP out would be appreciated :)
