Posted project update #9New music at last!
Post CommentWow, has it really been six months since we last got in touch? Time flies when you are recording the greatest album ever! Or, to be more precise, the THREE greatest albums ever!
That's right, in true Sharp Things fashion, we have embarked on yet another quixotic musical quest: to record THREE FULL ALBUMS of new songs!
You'll be hearing more about this in the weeks and months (years?) to come, but in the meantime, we've just sent our backers links to stream and download "Dogs Of Bushwick," an EPIC number in the classic TST style.
The product of months of studio time -- financed in part by YOUR generous contribution -- "Dogs" tells the tale of an aging musician from Queens, NY, facing ever-diminishing returns with an unquenchable creative spirit. Sound familiar? Nah.
If you are among the lucky backers who gave us $20 or more, please let us know what you think of the song. We want to hear from you! And stay tuned for more new music soon; we have 4 or 5 songs that are close to a final mix.
Love,
The Sharp Things

Posted project update #8More new songs — and remixes!
Post CommentToday we presented our backers with two of our favorites from the new album: "Flowers For My Girl" and "The Last Hymn"!
Also today, our private streaming and download pages were updated with new mixes of "Secrets & Lies" and "Daphne's Coming Over." (In our meticulous approach to making this album, we frequently return to previously mixed songs, even as we forge on with new material.)
Onward!

Posted project update #4OUR PLEDGE DRIVE IS OVER!
Thanks to the incredibly generous support of the greatest fans in the world, we have raised almost $4000 to fund the recording of our fourth album! This will finance many, many weeks of studio time and ensures that our next recording will be the very best it can be.
Mere words cannot express our gratitude to the nearly 100 fans who banded together to make this project an unqualified success. The result exceeded our expectations by a mile and we are deeply humbled, grateful and energized!
The first two completed songs have already been delivered to our most generous backers and we are looking forward to sharing our progress, and our music, as work continues in the months to come. We will work hard to ensure that you will not be disappointed with the outcome!
Thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts.
Perry Serpa, Steve Gonzalez, Jim Santo, Michell Caputo, Aisha Cohen, Andrea Dovalle, James Pertusi and Adrienne Day, a/k/a THE SHARP THINGS
