So, it turns out that on both SoundCloud and Bandcamp if you set a release date in the future and hit publish, it publishes now, not on the release date.
So rather than having a co-ordinated release with all the major streaming services in a fortnight, you, yes you, get a special advance access to the new EP right here! https://drewstephenson.bandcamp.com/alb ... and-losing
Bought, downloaded and imported into iTunes.
Easy integration into iTunes, the artwork appeared automatically and the lyrics too.
As usual, intriguing songs that have arrangements that keep the ear candy cravings at bay!.
iTunes has it as "Unknown Genre" - which seems about right- in a good way!
Nice one Drew, and I see a reputable mastering engineer was used too...
Thanks Kwackman, very much appreciated. I try and make up for in arrangement / production what I lack in musical theory - and ability!
I think the genre is probably best described as Americana but not a lot of places have that as a primary option.
The mastering is definitely the best part of the production.
Good listen, good work. I like your stuff, but that first one - the Wood Heart and Cold Bones tune - I was impressed by that one. You keep coming up with music I never imagined would come out of you. Originally I figured you for an acoustic balladeer with a flair for lyrics and a fondness for gentle tunes, but where you been keeping the pop rocker you channelled on that one? Impressive.

Thank you.
The rockier side has always been there but it's really only in the last couple of years I've had the tools/techniques to try and do something with it.
