IT'S HERE!!!! 08/02/2011
 
yes my friends! the new album is finally out! you can preview it and download it below. 
Picture
as with my previous full length releases, the download is available for whatever price you like including FREE! the only catch in that regard is that you sign up for my mailing list. however, if you do pay, it goes right back to helping me make more music and go on tour and such. 

the physical edition will be available for the first time this thursday at the camel during my official release show, i am also going to be selling this strictly on a donation basis, at this point it is more important for me to get the music out there and gain listeners than to loose a listener cause i'm selling a cd for $15 or something, but do know that you are going to get something really special for your donation should you decide to get a physical copy. this is a limited run of 300, all of these feature artwork i designed and had hand screen printed by triple stamp press, and the nature of the technique they used to make the sunrise gradient image on the front means that every single one of them is ever so slightly different. inside, these things are hand numbered and signed by me and you will also find an insert that i printed plus a wonderful compact disc made by revolve that has a collection of music on it that i am truly proud of. that's the deal, i want people to be as stoked as i am about this album, and if you are, please tell your friends, tweet about it, facebook the world, embed the album player in your blog, get crazy! i will love you forever! as always, thanks for listening! tomorrow i will have another post with photos of the packaging and some info on various influences i pulled from for the design.

*there will be brief pauses in between songs if you listen to the whole album through the bandcamp player. downloading the album and playing it in itunes or what have you will allow for seamless playback as there is no silence between tracks on this recording*  
 
 
my new solo album "when no one else is here and everyone is asleep" comes out next week on church hill records. i am beyond stoked about this.

you will be able to stream the entire record here for free on the second.  there will also be the option to purchase a digital copy as well.

the physical package, will be available for the first time on august 4th, at the camel. if you are are in richmond or near by you really should come by and get the full blown package as it is going to be beautiful.  i designed the art and triple stamp press is screen printing it. also huge thanks to revolve for the cd duplication and printing. 

you should also come to the release show because it's just gonna be an amazing time, lobo marino, nelly kate, and to all my dear friends (from gainesville) will be playing so it's simply going to be a night of mind blowing music.  7:30 at the camel.

if you can't come out thursday you will have another chance to pick up the album on friday at first fridays in the courtyard (304 n Adams).  i will be doing a set with the colloquial orchestra, but i will have some copies on hand for purchase.

for my out of town friends: i am hoping to have myself a little mini road trip/vacation/tour thing in mid august and hopefully i'll be coming thru a town near you, but if not you can always do the digital copy or i can mail you a copy as well, i'm going to figure out more details on that soon.

that's all for now, be sure to stop by next week for some surprises, and as always, thank you for your support, and thank you for listening.
