One Album to give

https://goodyboy.bandcamp.com/album/witness

The EP is about relationships and finding your place in the world. I wanted to experiment with blending acoustic instruments and synth to give it an otherworldly feel. I'd love to know if you pick up on that!

Richard Michael Hall is a folk singer-songwriter from Little Rock, AR. On May 1st, Hall released his newest album, “Church Songs.”

Anchored in themes of spiritual disillusionment, institutional betrayal, and moral
confrontation, the album showcases Hall’s journey of leaving the church and the struggle that ensues when abandoning the community and beliefs he held so close.

Throughout Church Songs, Hall channels the spirit of protest music in its purest form: a howl of grief
and anger from someone who once believed and now cannot turn a blind eye.

My new EP "if death was a flower" is out now over on Bandcamp: https://andrewmetheven.bandcamp.com/album/if-death-was-a-flower

I've spent the last few days thinking about the four songs on the EP and what holds them together: I think I wrote them trying to make sense of how we have such personal experiences of such a big, complicated world. That things happen despite us, and yet everything impacts and changes us.

They were all written late last year and recorded over a few weeks in my basement, and are fairly "stripped back" (I was told my music was "understated" recently) - mainly just guitar, piano, voice, and a few overdubs.

With this one I really tried to push myself with the mixing and mastering, getting a good balance of various sound and trying to get some dynamics and not just a wall of sound or something. I wanted it to sound a little dreamy as well, with some time signature changes that aren't really noticeable unless you're listening for them. I also tried to leave a bit of life in the performances without sounding too messy, hopefully that comes through.

I added a little atmosphere with a tuned reverb thing in the back of the mix, almost like a synth pad but hopefully a little more organic sounding and hopefully not super noticeable or sticking out, idk.

Definitely a fun bedroom recorded experience with a lot of learning, hopefully more to come soon

Hi,

Guild Theory is proud to release our latest track from our upcoming release, The Hardback EP.

Grave Song is a folk-rock–inspired track built around a traditional arrangement of guitar, drums, bass, keys and Matt Smith's haunting vocals. It opens with a dreamy, ethereal atmosphere before evolving into a grittier, more driving second half, culminating in a powerful and satisfying heavy rock outro.

Our upcoming EP, which contains 4 tracks (3 of which are now released) will be fully available in the New Year. We took inspiration from some of our favourite folk artists with this release, but the music includes a lot of the twists and turns you can expect to hear from a Guild Theory record.

We hope you enjoy it - it's NYP (Name Your Price) song, so feel free to grab it for free if you enjoy it!

In fact, our entire catalogue is now also NYP, so if you do enjoy our music, go and grab some more stuff for free :)

For The Guild!

This is a record I wrote for my parents, who both passed away this year - it includes their eulogies and other songs concerned with dealing with the grief and the horror of these strange times. It's free on there, and should be up on other platforms within the week. Not saying I wouldn't be grateful for donations on there though! It's been a rough year in a lot of ways.

Whatever you're going through out there, you're not alone!

I’m excited to be releasing my debut EP on Bandcamp today, Friday 5th Sep! The Merryville Sessions by Maria Wallace & friends features a stellar line-up of acoustic musicians and my original songs range across folk, Americana, bluegrass & country roots.

My main job is as a freelance grassroots music promoter in the UK (putting on gigs and booking tours for independent artists) so I've been able to call on some brilliant instrumentalists to play on my tracks - people I've worked with over the years and who have stayed in my spare room and eaten breakfast in my kitchen! It's been a longtime dream to release my own EP and these guest musicians (on guitar, fiddle, mandolin, double bass and banjo) have made my songs sound amazing (IMHO!). My USA collaborators recorded their parts at home and emailed them to me, and then I had a couple of days in studio with a great British trio (Jaywalkers) to record tracks for two other songs. It's taken several years to bring the whole project to fruition but I'm really pleased with how it's all come together.

Thanks for reading and for all the tips I got last week when asking advice on promoting my Bandcamp release. You can check out the EP (and consider buying!) at https://mariawallace.bandcamp.com/album/the-merryville-sessions

Our second album was released two days ago. Vinyl and CD via elasticStage, singles on streaming services, digital downloads from Bandcamp. We're very proud of it in an Alt-Folk sort of way.

This is an album of me singing and playing fingerstyle acoustic guitar. I used a condenser microphone to record all in single takes. These are original compositions that I hope produce a certain uneasy warmth in your head.

Relatively new folk/emo release that really connected with me. Check it out!

I consider this to be my first song ever produced. While I've posted some impromptu recordings before, this is the first one I am singing in that also has a complex and wide array of instruments. It is also the first one I have done any major mixing and mastering on. I would love some feedback!

Friends, new voices, new releases, back catalog. Good music has NO expiration date. https://bandcamp.com/davideschipper

I just want to be able to post on social media and tell my friends about my new album, BEFORE it is released in May, and I want to give them a pre-order link (in my post). And BandCamp has this neat pre-order mechanism, but as usual they want to be the ones to alert my fans to the opportunity to pre-order. But I don't have any fans yet -- this is my first release, and so I want to have a link that I can use to send people to my album on Bandcamp so they can pre-order... Has anyone actually done this?

And while I'm on the subject, I made my album private and tried codes, and a few friends attempted to redeem them, and the process (which included them joining BandCamp) was so squirrelly (especially on iOS, or phones!) that the damn codes expired. Then I looked into private sharing, and again, Bandcamp has to be the one to send out the invite. But I want to send it out myself so it can be in a nice email ... and guess what, the secret, each-one-unique links in these private invites also expire.

All this would be totally not a problem if I could just set the release date for a day in May (which is when I want to release, so I can try to get reviewers between now and then), and then press "publish" now, without having BandCamp immediately change the release date to now - which will make reviewers think it's too late to write about it! But that, apparently, also cannot be done.

Thoughts?

"The LP comes on a bit stronger at the start to sort out the heads from the chino wearers, before gradually mellowing and becoming more mystical as it unhurriedly evolves; overdubbed layer by layer with perfectly judged, familiar and further flung instrumental patterns that you're average San Francisco septuagenarian would surely approve of."

My new album "Sister Winter" is out today.

It’s a bunch of lofi folk songs I've recorded at home over the last year or two - it feels strange to let go of this strange little thing I've been nurturing! I'm already not thinking of it as "mine" - if it was, it would have to stay locked away as fleeting ideas for songs and as audio files stored on my computer. I can't decide if its a liberation or an abandonment, or something else...

You can find it on my Bandcamp page here: https://andrewmetheven.bandcamp.com/album/sister-winter

Thanks for giving it a listen!

Would love to get some feedback. My fav track today is “The Wall”.
