Hey Everyone,

  Sorry for the rather large break in updates. The album itself (i.e. the music part) is completely finished now. I've got the masters, and Michael Perez-Cisneros did an absolutely fantastic job. I can't wait for you all to hear it! I wanted to update you when I had physical copies (I was expecting to have them by now), but because the design is taking longer than I thought, it's looking like I'll have those all pressed and ready in early June. The super talented Daniel Boccatto is doing the artwork, and I'm very excited to share the finished product. So I guess this is just to let you know that things are moving along and are very nearly finished. I know I said estimated delivery in May, but it really shouldn't be much further off, and I guess that's the estimated part... I just want to send it out fully cooked :)

Over the next week or two, I'll be sending out surveys for backers' info, so I can begin sending pledge rewards. For those who will be receiving original scores to the music, you can absolutely wait until you hear the music and then let me know which song you'd like, but I think I'm just going to do this first come, first serve. I'll post the track list at the bottom of this update so those of you can pick them out early if you already have heard the song you'd like.

As far as an official release, we're looking at sometime in September. So that means I'm really counting on all of you who will be getting pre-release copies to not share it, as it needs to stay mostly under-wraps until then. But I trust you :) We'll be doing a small release tour in the northeast (MA, RI, CT, PA etc) before the big event in NYC so I'll share all the details of that a bit later once everything becomes more concrete. I'm also excited to say that the phenomenal publicist Ann Braithwaite will be working on the record, and I'm thrilled to have her on board. It should be a really great summer/fall.

Here's the track list:

1. Grey Light, Green Lily, 2. Made Very Small, 3. Big Bad World, 4. Whisper, 5. Give, 6. I Will If You Will, 7. misdirection/determined, 8. Like A Shadow, 9. Venus, 10. Whisper (reprise)

So, sorry again about the little silence there, and I'm looking forward to sending everything out to you all within a month's time. Exciting!

Julian
