Album artwork

Here's a preview of the album cover :

I'm currently mixing the opening track "Bye Bye, Big Blue" which is my favourite of the songs at the moment. Coming soon - a video previewing the songs as they were recorded & mixed.

Album and Tour Info

"Hall of Ghosts" is the latest track to be mixed for the album - it was also mixed and edited on analogue tape. An mp3 version is coming soon. Two other songs are left to be mixed "Bye Bye Big Blue" and "Tonight, It's Over" along with a new song that is yet to be recorded called "The Wandering".

Meanwhile, tour dates are starting to be organised for next year with the aim of doing some UK and Europe dates from March through May. These are either going to be solo sets (vocal & acoustic guitar) or as a duo (acoustic guitar and drums).

The artwork is also being worked on for the album cover after a photo shoot in rural North Shropshire.

Album Update

Looks like a rethink is on the cards. I already mixed a track called "Old Computer Instrumental" for the album but its sibling "I Remember Old Computer" (no musical relation) will just not hang together right and one song won't work without the other on the album.

I think I'm going to save that pairing for a future single or EP and write and record a new song specifically for the album. Sonically, it might work better as the Computer songs have that great 8 bit synth sound on them but they might no sit well next to the guitar-based songs.

That means the album will most likely be 8 songs which is great because a) I can think of plenty of classic albums I enjoy that have only 8 songs and b) some of the songs are longer than the usual 3-4 minutes so the running time will still clock in at about 35-40 mins which is good for the old attention span.

The artwork for the album has been photographed too (Sample coming soon) and now I'm deciding on what to call this recording.
