28 June 2022 - New album announced

It has been a while since our last update, but that does not mean we have been sitting still. On the contrary, we have been very busy finishing our next twelve brand new songs, and organising them in a nice package we like to call "the new album."

But first things first. We have ordered 12x12" copies of our albums' artworks. Makes them look like proper LP covers this way. These will be framed and placed on our studio walls. We have also ordered 7x7" copies of all our single artworks, for completeness sake. We're happy to show you how these look in real life, so for today, we'll start off by showing you the albums. First of all, our first album, In stereo (banana for scale):

It looks absolutely stunning. And yes, the anaglyph stereo 3D effect works, we've tested it.

So now, on to the reveal of the new album. Note that all this information is pending review, so keep in mind that things can change. The title of this album will be By The Book and looks like this:

The track listing is officially divided into two parts of six songs each (let's call it Side A and Side B), although this makes no difference to how the album will be presented on the major streaming platforms (they don't do sides apparently, you can't physically turn the digital record over...).

We understand that this doesn't mean very much to you at the moment. You haven't heard any of these songs, nor do you have any clue what they could sound like and what they mean. Except maybe for the songs Bitter and Summer Days. These two songs were written for the SunVox 2022.02 Compo, and have therefore already been released in some form.

In case you have missed that, you can listen to all submitted tracks by following this link to the YouTube video and look for our songs in the video description.

The release date is not yet fully known, most likely towards the end of July, early August. We will be announcing that as soon as we know for sure. So stay tuned for that, and check back soon to see our 7x7" single covers.
