Alrighty it’s crunch time. Two weeks
away from my birthday and our
goal of finishing this album with
only one (three part/movement)
song to go 💯 This week I finished
editing the drums that Sam
previously recorded/sketched out
with the me, and I began work on
laying down some guitar tracks. It’s
surreal finishing this up. I can’t
believe the concept for this album
began four years ago 🤯 followed
by a hiatus due to depression from
the pandemic and what not, it’s
amazing coming out the other end
of this with something I’m
incredibly proud of. It almost makes
me want to take my time on this
last song to soak it all up but I know
it has taken way too long as it is so
def trying to hit the goal to finish
by my birthday.
The last couple weeks have been
insane getting my kids back to
school (I can’t believe their summer
break is over). Not having to drive
them to and from school the last
couple months has allowed me to
really buckle down and knock out
the last few songs so I’m grateful
for that. I just wish they had a
couple weeks left of break because
getting up early to drive them is
rough especially since the majority
of my recording time goes late into
the night. I cannnnn dooooo ittttttt
tho haha! Just continuing to try to
hype myself up.
In other news in case you missed
last week’s fun email, I started a
brand spankin new TikTok account
for Fenwick & the Futures this last
week too which has been fun make
stupid little videos for that
highlighting the music. If you’re not
on TikTok not to worry, I’ll be re-
posting some of the material on
Instagram, Facebook and YouTube
Shorts too. It’s funny because being
on TikTok now has been helping me
actually discover other bands on
there and I am LOVING that part
about it. It’s awakening an old
passion of discovering new music
which I haven’t done in a long time.
Lastly, I’m waiting for the final
artwork for the new album which I
teased a couple weeks ago. I’m
excited to see what my graphic
designer comes up with! We’ll be
releasing a couple of the songs from
the new album onto streaming
platforms as soon as that is
finalized. Which ones should we
release?? Respond to any of my
emails to let me know! And stay
tuuuuuuuned! 👀
