Album goes live tonight (barring last minute disaster), so here's a sneak peek at the album cover!
Rendering final versions now, then need to get everything uploaded and hopefully finish the liner notes (tho I'll launch with those incomplete if necessary).
EDIT: Alright friends, it's arrived! You can hear it here:

Musician mutuals! I need one more thing to cover for this week's Other People's Music, so if you have a release you'd like to get more ears on (and have never submitted before), send me a DM.
Here's a link explaining the very few requirements:
https://www.etherdiver.com/2024/04/04/opm-other-peoples-music/
To that I have since added two things:
1) NO AI of any kind. Not in the art, not to write lyrics, nada. If you mess with that stuff, don't submit to me, please.
2) Everything has to be on one release, for logistical reasons.

Just sent a link to my new album to my realtor.
You never know where you'll find your next fan, after all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also I think it's funny to send music to people who are basically obligated to listen to it because they're doing expensive work for you.
My tax guy is also familiar with my work.

This week's Other People's Music has some awesome selections from two of Mastodon's many fine musicians! @lislegaard delivers an awe inspiring album of experimental electronic music in collaboration with a tap dancer, while @liquid_clear proves there's still plenty of life left in industrial, so long as you're willing to take it down to the metal and rebuild it in new ways!
All that and more awaits!

It's #BandcampFriday in just a few hours. If you can afford it, I'm asking you to consider spending as much tomorrow at Bandcamp (or other indie music retailers) as you do every month on your music streaming subs.
$15 is nothing to Spotify but it can be HUGE to an independent artist.
If you absolutely can't spend any money, that's okay! You can still do a hell of a lot of good for your fav indie musician! A few things you can do, in rough order of importance:
