@jake.meredith_ I agree with Jon - we can't really avoid "doing the dance" at this point because so many folks are trained on algos, and the industry really relies on them (a little too heavily IMO). It won't feel like BS if the marketing is an extension of the art and music you're making. Make some kind of cool art or take some unique we've never seen before on these platforms and commit to that bit and be consistent, but then really utilize any kind of audience you're building to drive people either online to places like this (Discord and Reddit forums are your best bet for just starting out, livestreams like Twitch if you're keen on performingg) or drive them offline and figure out ways to interact IRL.

You got this dude!

@User12261990 This forum is a really awesome concept, thanks for dreaming all this up for us! I've got two q's if that's alright!

1. I know you said you were in the mixing/mastering phase of the album production, but how long did actual production take on the album from the moment you started writing it last year(? I assume last year)

2. You really upped the visuals and story concept with GSP, is there going to be something along those lines for this project or is it more of a "back to basics, let the music speak for itself" kind of approach this time around?

Thanks again, excited for the new music

YES that’s great news!
