I expect this finds you in a good space. We all in the same old boat aren’t we? in the mind forged manacles of media it’s easy to believe we are doomed but another way of seeing it is that this is just another ground hog day and we been through this before many times. A kind of pass the parcel until the four horsemen arrive. Something to look forward to.
But that’s not what you are reading this for is it? No.
You are wanting to know what the latest recordings are and I’ve been remiss by not announcing the long awaited Mona Lisa released not so recently on Bandcamp but totally unheralded. It’s not the original track of ” Im in Love With The Mona Lisa”…this is kinda like The album I meant to release but better. It’s a Mona lisa sandwich.
Here’s a link to the Mona Lisa which I hope you will download. A Koha would be nice but that’s up to you. You can listen to the whole album and stream or download in the format you prefer.
First and last tracks are different versions of the song and between them there’s a bunch of recordings you will never have heard. This came about because Arnie at Nightshaft Studios Christchurch was able to bake some reels from long ago and discover these lost singles recorded long ago.
Jan Bille produced and mastered it using a new mastering system….which he can explain if you are interested. By the way…if you are looking for a fast efficient and profoundly capable producer I can recommend Jan. Give me a call 021 0259 2919 and I can pass you on. Also I can recommend Alex Sound in Auckland if you want purist acoustic (of which more to relate soon).
There haven’t been many calls of late and I’m counting my fingers waiting for the announcement of a gig*. I will play anywhere so long as expenses are covered. I live in Auckland. Airfares are cheap if you go standby 0800 737 000.
*Actually doing a mini tour in South Island starting 15th of Feb so more dates soon.
See you at yours soon once you invite me.
One day I will write at length about these songs and the circumstances around the recording thereof. It’s a tale from long ago when life was harder but perhaps less scary.
Talk soon
God bless us and save us!
