Greetings! I know it’s been a bit quiet here lately…or has it? Several years ago, I announced the upcoming release of a second full-length album (A Distance From Home), but save for a handful of tracks that found their way onto social media around that time, little has been heard or seen of it since. I’m happy to say that this period of musical drought seems to be coming to an end as we begin a rather peculiar experiment.
Many months ago, I started to entertain the idea of releasing songs as they were finished, rather than waiting until a full album’s worth of material had been accumulated. For one, this approach would seem to be far more conducive to the kind of schedule-related capriciousness that has become so commonplace here. I believe that it will also allow for greater creative freedom, in that songs will no longer necessarily be tied to (and required to fit within the context of) a particular album. I may or may not decide to compile select tracks onto a full album release after a certain period of time, but we’ll see how this all plays out.
Thank you once again for your interest in this project – my hope is that adopting this approach will allow for more consistent output, and I look forward to sharing songs that have been sequestered away in the darkest recesses of our recording studio for far too long.
