Last Summer is officially out now on my Bandcamp! We're having a listening party for it tonight at 8PM EST, so if you're available in the next few hours of this post going live, come hang out with me and the Somnolians! I'll be sharing some fun tidbits about how I made the album and all that good stuff. (It's also streaming now on YouTube, if you prefer to listen to your music as videos. No word on if I'll publish this one through RouteNote like I do my normal aphrodisiac stuff, though that would be pretty killer.)

I also spent the day working on art for a physical release! I've got jewel cases handy and more novelty CD-Rs on the way, so I've done up a proper eight-page booklet I'm gonna have printed on nice, glossy paper, and I'll come up with a back cover and something for the CD tray another day. The CD release is gonna have the original demos from 2020, which pleases me since it'll all be together in a full package. I'll be making a couple for the Somnolians and then a couple extras I might offer on the Bandcamp if anyone's interested. If not, no big deal. Just a fun, handmade thing to go with a nice, handmade album.

It's been a lot of work, but honestly, I'm kind of enjoying the warm fuzzies tonight. The end of the year has always been my time to make music (my first stabs at stuff as aphrodisiac were done in the back half of 2015, and Isolated Together was coming together between November 2018 and January 2019, thereabouts), so I'm in real familiar territory.

It's nice having something new and, more importantly, much more like real music to show off for all my efforts over the years trying to write music. Again, the itch is scratched for the moment, I think I'll be focusing elsewhere now—but it was damn cool how it happened and I am super proud of how this thing came out. Hopefully, you like it too and you let me know somewhere. My brain is otherwise melted, so I'm gonna relax for the evening.
