Here we are again, the day after labor day. It's been two years since I finally got the guts to head into the basement to record and put out my first album. Since then I put a band together and played a bunch of shows. The label that started for real with that album has grown. Things are looking good all around. I just wanted to touch base and let you guys know what's going on.
I personally am having an extremely busy fall in my personal life and due to that the band is not actively booking. We won't turn down shows that come our way, but we're not going to seek them out. We certainly will be performing "All The Way Home" at the big CDCC Nigel Tufnel Day celebration at The Berkley Front on 11/11/11.
What we will be doing during this time is working on our long anticipated second album.
Coelacanth will be released on February 18th, 2012. That's a little less than six months from now. The preliminary recordings for the album are sounding pretty good. You've heard what "I Don't Want To Live Anymore" sounds like, and if you were lucky enough to get the exclusive single you know what "If You Loved Me" sounds like, and if you've made it to a show in the last six months or so then you've most likely heard a lot of the album.
I am really excited about the album. The entire band will be performing on this album, not just me, and the musical interaction is great. I am truly blessed to be the weakest musician of the group. The sound is amazing. Upgrades in gear and improvement of recording techniques is giving this album a great sound and feel. Overall though what is really going to grab you is the tunes. These tunes are the best I have written.
So we look forward to having you all hear it. More info on where we'll be releasing it and how you'll be able to get a copy as details emerge.
Thank You,
Jeremy Otto
