TWENTY DAYS. Yes, the release date is a Saturday. This isn’t an “in-store” affair, but the date isn’t random. All digital content will become available on 10/20. All physical orders will be shipped 10/17. The Extra Sensory Package is still available, albeit limited.
Additionally, THE VIIRUS is now available on Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, Amazon, Tidal, Napster, Youtube(?) etc. For those who care, physical and digital purchases made via BANDCAMP or in person have the most positive financial impact on artists. Digital sales via other retailers still benefit me, but each retailer takes their cut. Streaming services pay in exposure, but honestly I get more exposure from word of mouth, live performances, recommendations from friends, and other methods.
THE VIIRUS. ELECTRONIC BODY LANGUAGE. 10/20/2018.
A “face value” record executed in the tradition of the solo singer/songwriter discipline. Synthesizer pop mutates into industrial snarl, cold wave austerity tunes into the acid pulse. Minimalism slips past the confines of purism.
”There was a wall, a black curtain, a wooden skull, and plastic flowers. Four years in the making. Somewhat damaged by heat, humidity, and the side effects of living life. A total atmosphere. Acid damaged synthesizer portraits have been elevated from scrap metal into telling structure; sharpened melody, relentless rhythm, haunting presences, voiced with sincerity. Waking up from the pre-programming. Getting the hands dirty with modern electronic “performers” as the tape slowly ticks by.”
