AQ1 streaming on SoundCloud

On our website I decided to take a step back and make it easy to listen to the album. I took inspiration from the website for Mos Dub (produced by Max Tannone - A remix album featuring Mos Def and dub reggae music).

I like the simple "here's the artwork, here's a giant play button, here's how you get it" approach, so I did a quick redesign of our homepage with this in mind.

Again, as we move towards the next recording I need to make room for it on the site :) Here's the SoundCloud stream that can also be found on our homepage. I wonder if I could add it as a sidebar to this blog.

AQ1 now on CDBaby

We're pleased to now be available at CDBaby, the largest online distributor of independent music. As we move towards recording our next release, I wanted to make sure that our first album (which we released only 6 months ago!) has a good home.

It became more and more obvious that CDBaby was the choice, as it's internationally known, reliable, and easy to use.

UnderCurrents radio play

I just found out that we were played on the radio program UnderCurrents with host Gregg McVicar. Our track "Shift" was played on August 18, 2010. Here's the playlist. This program has a quite an extensive reach:


[Edit:

Through some other playlist sources, I noticed today that we have been played at least two other times on Undercurrents:

June 2, 2010 - "Lucky"
June 20, 2010 - "Dee"

Thanks, Undercurrents! ]

New CD Review on 'Minor 7th'

The just-released September/October issue of the 'Minor 7th' webzine features a review of our CD. Minor 7th is a music review site focusing on new acoustic releases.

"The music is in no hurry, but ebbs and flows, carrying the listener to that rare place of quiet listening, uncovering graceful melodies along the way."
- Kirk Albrecht, Minor7th.com

WCUW 91.3FM (Worcester, Massachusetts)

We had a spin on WCUW 91.3FM in Worcester, Massachusetts on a program called "Face the Music" last night. They played our tune 'Snap.' Thanks, Mary!
