The album isn't being officially released until the 1st June, which is to give us time to get a response from the industry and those within. Needless to say we've sent a few copies off to those we consider friends, and one of them, Kapitano, a fine singer songwriter, has written a detailed critique.
It's well worth a read, and he has included some interesting archive footage of our first festival gig in 2005.

Struggle
It's a bloody struggle, that's what it is at the moment. Too much to do and neither the hours in the day nor the drive to get it all done. Frankly, I don't know what's come over me (no lewd jokes please). I seem to have drifted off into a headspace that is ruled by 'Meh'. I used to be full of get up and go but it's leached away into a mental subsoil ... which is crazy!
All the excuses under the sun can't detract from the fact that we now have a finished master ready to be replicated and sold. It is what we've always wanted. What we've always dreamed of. Yet no we have it I can't get it together to finished the artwork and send it off.
I've got through all the other stuff you have to do to release a CD. Joined the PPL, got ISRCs for the tracks. Hunted around and got a distribution deal with CDBaby.com. Yet the last step is proving the hardest.
On reflection it's more than likely that I din't want to do it because it'll mean I then have no excuse ... and what happens if it's actually crap? I know it isn't. Actually, I know it's not just good, it's very good. But then what?
So you have a CD .... Then you have to make people aware of it and get them to buy a copy - and that is the process I'm terrified of. I'm not, and never have been, a salesman: it's just not in my nature. We need a manager and we need an agent to get us gigs. NOW!
#Heartfelt sigh#
Ah well, I'm sure it'll all be okay in the end. Or, as Mick says, "It's always darkest before dawn."
Ave all.
