I’ve listened to the vinyl, and, believe it or not, it sounds better than the digital version.
The artwork and vinyl turned out perfectly! I am still trying to find a way to get the lyrics and credits put online in an easy and accessible way so everyone can view it. Currently the only good way to view those is on the inside cover of the physical vinyl gatefold jacket.
I also just finished making a music video for Track 2 of the album, “Hardly Eden.” This song serves as an overview and foreshadow of the rest of the album. It refers to the Seasons as an allegory for life’s trials and rewards, the feeling of the wind as a symbol of times changing, a distressed call signaling the difficulties ahead, and a call to hold fast to your community through it all. I’m no filmmaker, and it’s another DIY thing, so it’s nothing fancy.
Until I get a high res JPEG of that inner gatefold, here are the credits 🙂
