Death of A Love Song Info

Alrighttt just finished the preliminary mixes for Death of A Love Song. I still gotta tweak some stuff, and get these songs “mastered”…all about professionalism you know.

The album is a journey about finding, losing and defining this thing called love. It’s a cinematic experience through song and poetry that dances around indie pop and instrumental hip hop beats.

I mean, you gotta listen to it to fully understand. But if you liked any of these albums:

Radiohead’s OK Computer, Paul Simon’s Graceland, The Shins’ Oh! Inverted World, Beatles’ Rubber Soul, J Dilla’s Donuts, D’angelo’s Voodoo, Common’s Like Water For Chocolate

I think you’ll enjoy it. :)

Forget About It – the first single will be released soon!

Just gotta say Shuggie is the MAN!
Like Prince, the dude plays everything on his albums.

New Song: Paperback Writer - An Epilogue

This continues the story...



Early February is when Death of a Love Song will be released.
Peace.

Update: Death of a Love Song - 60% There...

I'd say I'm just a little over half finished with the album or EP (can't decide..what to call it).
Gotta finish some more vocal re-dubs, record one song, and then mix the entire thing.
The mixing process is the hardest because it's the least I know about and the most work...It's those little production tricks that make an album sound crisp and clean and professional.

I've been having this obsession with J Dilla lately...so the album was always going feature my delving into production, but now even more so. I'm looking at 4-6 instrumental songs in addition to the "normal" songs.

I wish I could just put everything I have up right now but that'd be no way to promote! I have a plan - and you'll see it in action soon enough.

The first song off Death of a Love Song will be Forget About It. Stay Tuned.

I Know It's Just The Season...

winter sucks.

Death of a Love Song

Happy New Years everyone! all the best for 2011
yuppp thats the title of the new album, and its coming out to be really concept-based.
its probably the craziest shit I've ever recorded.
Tentative Tracklist:

Forget About It
Wonder-esque (Someone Like You)
Umbrella For Two
Lucie's Lament
The Fantasy of Summer (and my misdirection) - ehh don't like that title
Death of a Love Song
Girl in the White T
Untitled (What Are You Fighting For?)
Unofficial Paramour
plus an assortment of skits and beats by yours truly

hopefully I can finish the recording and mixing process by end of Jan and have a free online release.
"Singles" will be release before.

on a completely different note - all Beatles fans check out the mono mixes, they're pretty sick.
