Five songs tomorrow, the rest in January
|
Tomorrow is Bandcamp Friday, and Homage to Catalonia is up for pre-order. Pre-order it and five songs land in your hands immediately: Cadaqués Cowboy — the new one, a full two weeks before it reaches Spotify on the 18th The rest of the record follows in January. It's been arriving in pieces for a couple of years now, and this is where it starts becoming a whole thing. Pre-order Homage to Catalonia → Two reasons to do it tomorrow rather than today. Bandcamp waives its revenue share for 24 hours, so the money reaches me close to whole — same price to you, meaningfully more to me. And it's the one day a month where independent musicians genuinely feel the difference. If there's a record you've been meaning to buy from anyone at all, tomorrow is the day to do it. If you already own some of these as singles — thank you, genuinely. Bandcamp can't credit what you've already bought, and I'd rather tell you that here than have you discover it at checkout. No obligation to buy anything twice. Bandcamp Friday runs midnight to midnight Pacific, which here in Europe means Friday morning through Saturday morning. Plenty of room. Thanks, as always, for being the people who actually buy the records. Brad P.S. If buying isn't where you're at right now, pre-saving the single is free and helps more than you'd think: sl.cmdshft.com/cadaquescowboy

Friends — I made a video game. Yes you read that right... You have 60 seconds to help the mystery man escape a UFO in a yellow fishing boat, off the coast of Cadaqués. Protect the mustache. game.thisfrontierneedsheroes.com It plays on a phone or a laptop, it takes a minute, and the song plays while you're out there. Tell me how many seconds you lasted — just hit reply. I want to know if I made it too hard. A few notes for the curious. The clocks floating in the water slow down time when you...
Friends — The new record is called Homage to Catalonia. It's my sixth, and it comes out in January. The next song from it arrives on 18 September. It's called "Cadaqués Cowboy," and it imagines Salvador Dalí as a spaghetti-western drifter — kind of an alien, but always playing with reality. Cadaqués is the white village up the Costa Brava where Dalí kept a house. You drive over a mountain to get there, and then the road simply stops, because there's nowhere further to go. I've been in...
Hey, Back in the spring I played a house concert up in Alella, in the hills outside Barcelona — vineyards on one side, the sea somewhere off the other. Twenty-odd people. Chairs carried out from the kitchen. No PA, no soundcheck. Three or four songs in I stopped worrying about whether the guitar was loud enough, because the room had gone that particular kind of quiet you only get when people are actually listening. You can hear it happen. It's the reason I keep doing these. People ask fairly...
