Progress report and the Next EP
I’ve been working hard on my next EP, even as the last album has yet to have many reviews published. Such is the way of digitally distributed music — not many print magazines are willing to review itunes/amazon/internet distributed music, as the consensus is (without the plastic artifact) it’s somehow not worth as much. I’m on the fence with that, but hey c’est la vie.
Even with the watermark of physicality set where it is, i’ve been informed that there will be some reviews and various press published soon — expect reviews of my latest album ‘From Unity to Segmentation’ on Headphone Commute (along with an interview!) in the coming weeks, and i’m told there will be another review going up over at Igloo Mag too.
In addition, you may have heard the album on the radio recently, as it has had radio play on Kero.fm’s show on Windsor CJAM 91.5fm, Solipsistic Nation on San Diego 96.9fm, Nowlikephotographs on Radio K 106.5fm Minneapolis, and Digital Nimbus in Irvine CA on 88.9fm — also has had some play on other various podcasts out of Siberia, Moscow, Paris, Madrid, New York, and some cities that i can’t remember where i scribbled their names down. If you host a show, either digitally or on the radio get a hold of me for some music to play on it. I’m always happy to reach out to new audiences.
The upcoming EP is getting close to finished. It’s for a Portland-based Electronic label/distributor called MMR. The title has been decided upon as ‘Detroit Nocturnes’ based on the fact that all of these songs were written in the wee hours of the night, usually after coming home from the city with plenty of time before my body would let me pass out. It’ll be done hopefully by the end of the month — all tracks have been decided upon and there are only 2 left that need to be finished — and then the cover and design will be done.
There’s one track preview of the new EP on my tumblog here, and another preview track currently at the top of my myspace page player here.
Stay tuned for more news in the coming weeks! Momentum is beginning to build again.
