My new album The Fire and the Flame is arriving on all streaming services on June 22. In advance, you can stream the album on Bandcamp and I have a live listening party tomorrow (Saturday 14 June at 2pm Central).
The album took about 9 months to put together and offers 12 very diverse tracks influenced by artists like New Order, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, Chris Rea, Suzanne Vega and many others.
Those of you who truly love music, and I'm guessing that's most of you, will know what I mean when I mention the giddy rush that comes from discovering some great music in a place you really don't expect to. It's really my biggest motivation for maintaining a blog.
What's also great is that it's such an individual experience, no two people react to music in exactly the same way, and I can point to several examples of where I have given something a second chance because another blogger was raving about it. And, let's face it, falling in love is an addictive experience.
I'm excited right now because I'm pretty sure I've just discovered my record of the year. I'm not going to say too much yet, except to provide the following snippets:
I'm thinking that very few people, if any, who read my blog regularly will have heard of this release
It cost me a whopping $0.75
It was released in 2008
Female vocals
More will be revealed next month. In the meantime, here's some excitable music.
