After a long wait it’s finally here, My second solo album is finally ready!!! The much anticipated Failure To adjust is the result of the last two years of my life… the old… the new… and more. I’ve been writing a whole bunch of different material, but late last year i focused more on putting together material for the concept of my second solo album.
The material is much more cohesive and stronger then my previous efforts, which showcased my abilities more then my sensibilities as a musician. The 10 songs on the album feature my signature sound of atmospheric and emotionally charged soundscapes, but the guitar is much more subdued and playing a more soulful role this time, complimenting the music, instead of taking it over. The focus this time was to really make the songwriting as strong as possible, meaning more melodies, less clutter, less over the top guitar playing and more soul.
Of the 10 tracks, 2 feature the Armenian Duduk, a double reed flute like instrument which i got late April and have been learning to play. Overall I’m very happy with how F.T.A has turned out, the production is much better then anything I’ve done, and i feel that it came much more naturally, and i wasn’t forced.
I’ve been busy putting the final touches on the album together, along with updating all my web stuff (blog, website, Facebook, MySpace, etc etc yada yada yada), but fortunately this will all come to an end by this month. The website will be up again on the 26th, and the album should be out by the end of the month on the usual online distributors.
Soon I’ll be adding tracks to my MySpace page, so stay tuned in!
Peace ‘n much love!
