Over the summer, I'm planning to work with Allen Penner of Motive Music in Steinbach to do all of the recordings. Hopefully I'll end up with enough songs for a short album, although an EP would work just as well.
By September, I plan to be finished in the studio, at which point I will start organizing the release of the album. My aim is to have a release event in December, in the form of a concert with some kind of reception. If planning goes poorly - or the timing works out in favour of the backup plan - I may move the release event to February, during Reading Week.
At this point, I have a handful of songs written for the album, but will need to write about half a dozen additional songs in order to have enough material. This is something I'm already beginning work on. Here's one song that will definitely be on the album, although in a more fully realized capacity:
In other news, the radio show is going well, and I encourage anyone who likes vintage soul and R&B, or melancholy music of any genre, to tune in to The Dark End of the Street, Thursdays at 8pm at radio.rrc.ca. I'll be getting podcasts up soon as well. For more info on the show, see my previous post, and follow the show on Twitter: @DarkEndShow.
