So... The taking-forever-to-finish
Beautiful Insults and Compromises album—which shall be re-titled “
Dominican Democracy” if it doesn’t come out soon enough—has been in the works, on and off since Nov. ‘07. (Two rough mixes, “
Brand New Ride” and “
Fool of the Year” are posted here on
MySpace.) The reasons for the delay are numerous and typical of a self-financed recording project with no budget. But I’m grateful to be working with an awesome co-producer who’s invested much of his time and talent in this record, regardless of monetary reward. I’m also quite confident the results will be nothing short of wonderful.
In the meantime, I’ve been demoing and recording
a new batch of songs. Enough for an EP as it turns out. (And I'm not even counting my recently completed, but yet to be released lounge/electronica project
Tonight at Noon.) So, I was thinking I might share these songs with you in the interim. Hmm...
Because I’m still working on lyrics and melodies, as well as other details, you’ll be listening to the instrumental tracks. (They are also unmixed and have not been mastered, either.) But I figured you might be interested in hearing what I’m currently working on and the opportunity to check out some works in progress. Don’t forget to tell me what you think and thanks again for listening.
Stay warm and fuzzy.
Cheers,
