Well, I’ve finally uploaded the new site design. The picture it’s based around will be the cover for Vacuum Road Songs. I hope everyone likes it! I’ve revealed the tracklist, too, as the record’s about done. I still need to add some finishing touches to a couple of tracks, get some more field recordings and mix the full thing down. After that, I’m continuing the hunt for a label. If and when I get one, then I at least have a finished product to give them. Still, even then it’ll be a while before it comes out, so don’t expect to see it this side of Christmas. I’m really, really fucking happy with how it’s come along, and feel the finished product will be vastly superior to Purlieu (which, to be fair, I still love, but some parts are a couple of years old now).
It’s been over a year since Purlieu was finished now. Seems like yesterday. Still, I’ve progressed a lot. The new album’s similar in places, but overall quite different. I began to get sick of the slightly stale sound of Purlieu, with it being almost entirely electronic, other than samples. The fact that Nsepan, which is just live piano and viola, is the most popular track on the album brings that right to the fore, so I really felt the need to move things on a little. I’ve got real guitars on many tracks, some drums and even an organ. It’s an idea I’m thinking of really expanding on future projects. Either way, Vacuum Road Songs needs to be out of the way first. I have more to write about the album, but that can wait for the moment.
