"Homage to Catalonia" is out today!
|
Hi friends, "Homage to Catalonia," the title track of my new album, is out today. Give it a listen, and if you like it, add it to a playlist. That's what gets a song in front of new people. Gracias!
It's on Bandcamp too, where you can also pre-order the whole album. AND IN VERY EXCITING NEWS!!! The album is also coming out on vinyl, and this one is really special. My friend Luigi Falagario is putting it out on his label, Almost Halloween Time Records, in Bari, Italy. There are only 58 copies, and every sleeve is made by hand, so no two are alike. Eight of them have numbered covers cut from one giant painting Luigi made. The vinyl is only available in Europe. If you're here, you can pre-order it on the label's Bandcamp: €30 for a hand-made sleeve, €60 for one of the eight painted covers. And here it is played live in the street outside Dr. Flow, in Barcelona's old city: Next show: the Cobblestone in Dublin, Sunday 22 November, with Finnian and Davy Lyons. Tickets on Eventbrite or DICE. Thanks for listening, Bradley |
