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”.
