Once again I have done a terrible job with keeping everyone updated. This will probably be a long and wordy news update by the time i'm done, but I have a lot to talk about. I hope everyone is well! My new full length Talk To Me Like The Rain And Let Me Listen is currently being pressed and will finally be available for you to purchase in the next few weeks. It's my first non-digital release, so I'm pretty excited to have it in my hands. This is the cover art: Talk To Me

Upon arrival of the discs, and a few days to set up everything, you will be able to purchase the album via Itunes, CdBaby, Rhapsody, various independent record stores (which I will announce), and of course shows. This is the first single from Talk To Me, entitled World Gone Wrong:

I hope you enjoy.

I have also started recording another new album, entitled Vimanas. It has more political songs than anything I've done in a while, but I felt the timing was appropriate. Studying history has led me to fear the future of America more so than ever before, and the current state of the ever-growing radical Republican party is absolutely reaffirming any fear or mistrust I've had in this country. But enough of that. The idea of Vimanas came from Sanskrit literature and stories from the Vedas, which describe these mythical flying machines called Vimanas, that carry the gods between this world and the next. As I watched the state of the modern world unfold, I became more and more allured by the concept of escaping this chaos with a Vimana as my transport. It's kind of silly now that I type it down, but that is the concept of the album. Here is an unmastered version of a song I've been working on. It's called Time (Didn't Love). It's a love song!

That album should be finished sometime in August.

It will be released digitally on the website with a pay-what-you-want option and I plan on donating all of the money to Knowmore.org. They are a wonderful nonprofit organization devoted to promoting responsible consumerism and keeping Americans aware of who their money really goes to. According to their homepage, their mission is to "raise awareness of corporate abuse, and to serve as a catalyst for direct action against corporate power".

Naturally, I am wildly interested in aiding their cause. Eventually I will also press a small amount of copies to hand out at shows and such. I will try to keep everyone updated on the status of Vimanas.

And in other news, as you probably don't know, I finished my first piece of credible fiction a few months ago, entitled Out Into That Old Country. It's about the size of a novella, and since I completed it I've been sending it to independent publishers and fiction contests everywhere, trying to find someone interested. If I don't find anyone, I eventually plan on publishing it myself, and will probably post it in The Vault, haha.

Other than that, I've just been enjoying my summer with Cici Ross. Keep in touch! Alot of things should be happening in the upcoming weeks, so you'll be hearing from me again soon.

Love

-Logan
