Artwork

Hi folks! Just a quick update: we’re finally getting to see some of the artwork and I must say it’s looking very good. Not at all what I imagined but once I got used to it I really started to like it. I can’t show you anything now, unfortunately, but hopefully soon we’ll have a finalized cover to show everybody and the CD will be off to pressing!

Also, if you missed it, don’t forget to check out the new song (see next post!)

First Single: “Morning After”

Here it is, now available for free download in its entirety. Please help us out by spreading it around and letting your friends/family/strangers know about the album coming out in April. (If they don’t have the other albums let them know about those too!)

Hope you enjoy it!

Roads on the Earth News

I had a meeting with the Veggie Co guys today to hear the final masters of Roads on the Earth and discuss promotion, etc. The album is basically ready to be pressed at this point, we’re just waiting for the artwork to come in, which will theoretically be happening any day now. We haven’t even seen any drafts but the artists are good, so hopefully it will come out well.

Once we get the artwork it can basically be sent off to be pressed right away. The manufacturing process generally takes 2-3 weeks (including shipping, etc.), and then there is promotion to be considered. Basically, we’re shooting for a mid-late April release of the album.

I also got to talk a little bit with them about my ideas for future projects (ambitious and numerous!), check out the design of the official Veggie Co website (which should be launching sometime in the next few weeks), and even hear some of the new Ghost of a Stranger album (it’s good).

But the most exciting thing is that I can finally let people hear some of the new album. Stay tuned, tomorrow I will be posting a free MP3 of the first song of Roads on the Earth: “Morning After”.

Great Remix of “Rain is Gone”

I just got a great remix of “Rain is Gone” by Providence producer ClarkWork. If you like the original song (or even if you don’t) I really recommend taking a listen:
Download ClarkWork’s “Rain is Gone” Remix
He has also remixed “Not for Sale” and “Can’t See the Forest” as well as various mainstream rap songs; you can check those out on his ReverbNation site. They are definitely worth your time.

(News and probably MP3s about Roads on the Earth coming soon!)

Still Can’t See the Forest: The Remix Album

For those of you who are interested, producer Philosophy has remixed nearly all of Can’t See the Forest and created Still Can’t See the Forest: The Remix Album. It’s a cool project which, to be honest, I haven’t had time to listen to all of yet, but definitely check it out. It can be downloaded from zSHARE for free here.

Welcome to the new Sun-Zoo.com

Well, I’ve finally decided just to switch to a Wordpress-based site. This is just easier for me, and also prettier than my old site by leaps and bounds. It might be a tiny bit more confusing, but I trust everyone will figure it out. Feel free to send me an email at sunzoo@sun-zoo.com and let me know what you think.
