I've just finished the artwork for an unprecedented all-Indiana 3-Way Single, featuring
The Lost Ambitions, '78 Camaro, and
Drum Kit. Expect indie rock in heroic doses!
We have a few singles in production right now, each vying for which will be released first: will it be the one described above (and by the way that "river" shape started life as a photo of a lightning bolt!), or will it be the contemporary americana and folk of
Sam Corbin, The Marvins, and
Joshua Davis? Then again, could it be the ear-scarring dirges of
American Gothic, BerT, and
So Long Naota?
It remains to be seen. Drink plenty of water and get some fresh air so you'll be in tip-top shape when the next release drops. And thank you for joining us for this musical hike.
Regardless of who gets out of the gate first, we've got some great songs lined up and are putting the finishing touches and final polish on a great collection of summer music that spans the gulf between endearing duo folk and paint-melting noise rock. Its a unique honor to curate such an open-minded (and open-ended) series, and I look forward to unveiling each installment as it comes to fruition. This is an artist-driven project and nothing is more satisfying than hearing the results of creativity unfettered by the usual music biz bullshit.
Of course, I take special pleasure in doing the artwork (minus some occasional great guest artists like
John Praw). In my cluttered office garret in leafy Lansing, Michigan, I collage, I color, and I daydream of you out there beyond the electrons, stumbling across a song or an artist and finding in it a new best friend. Music is a lifelong romance.
