Following a long-running legal dispute with Chris Cornell's estate over the rights to the late Soundgarden frontman's final recordings, guitarist Kim Thayil has revealed that the surviving members of the band are nearing completion on the unreleased songs.
In an interview for LifeMinute, Thayil says that the much of the material is over 10 years old and the band – rounded out by drummer Matt Cameron and bassist Ben Shepherd – are putting their touches on the demo recordings.
"They're very rough," Thayil says of the demos. "They're sketches. You start with a little pencil sketch and you fill it in and with chalks or oils or pastels. What we have to do is finish the sketches and we're in that process."
Thayil admits that they're working on the unreleased songs when their other schedules allow.
