Hi everyone!
What follows is an excerpt of an email I sent to my mailing list subscribers this afternoon. If you’d like to receive email updates from me to find out what I’m doing, what I’m thinking, when I’m touring or when I’m releasing music, sign up here.
I'm currently still in the studio working on my first full studio album with Producer Martin Lumsden. Before we got back into the studio together, I'd forgotten how much it's one of my happy places. Spending my days being creative and making an unholy racket with a good friend is a real privilege.
As you might know, I set out to do something different with this record.
Whilst everybody involved worked really hard on them all, my previous attempts at putting my music down on figurative tape were put together without much thought from myself.
I was terribly unclear about what I wanted and the resulting recordings don't live up to the versions of the songs that exist in my mind. I'm still hugely proud of the work that we put into them, but the songs as recorded are missing a certain...oomph!
This time, I told myself that I wouldn't let the same thing happen again. And I wouldn't let those songs go without making sure I got the best out of them.
The new album will therefore feature re-recordings of some of my favourite tracks from my last two EPs, as well as brand new, previously unreleased songs (including one that has NEVER been played live, and won't be until after the album comes out!).
This also means that the old versions will be retired from the internet shortly before the album's release. They'll be coming down from Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, the lot.
I want my music to be represented by their best possible versions, true to my vision of them as they "should" be.
Which leads me neatly to the fact that there are only 20 copies remaining of my last EP, released in 2022!
These are the last 20 copies that there will EVER be - once these are gone, this record will be out of print for good!
So, to celebrate that there only 20 of these babies left in the whole world, I'm selling them at 20% off on my Bandcamp store for the rest of the month!
To get hold of your copy, simply go to my Bandcamp store here and enter code 'final20' at checkout to get 20% off of the CD copy before 11:59pm on 30th April 2024.
Every copy of the CD bought from Bandcamp comes with a FREE download of all of the tracks on the CD, including the 7 bonus tracks not available on the digital versions!
It would be really cool to have sold out of this CD by the end of the month ahead of the new album, so get yours whilst you can!
See you soon,
D
