New Pacific Blush Album! Valentine's Release Day

fashion chrysalis front cover

Returning from eight months probation! A single eked out under duress, only because of the Halloween stress and storm – holiday season hit hard this year. But here, the second one. Not eked, totally formed. The most complete Pacific Blush effort yet. A gloomy, stormy, sweet, powerful, loving, trip to the heart of Blush. Featuring a tiny pocketful of guests, this album remains Matt's.

Definitely a darker album than the debut, yet also more expansive and at times a shade content. A stronger focus on electric guitar and organ helps with the shadier connotations while the vocals bring a warming glow. Self-assuring realizations scatter across the album, leaving a sense of hope.

Fashion Chrysalis is the follow-up to last summer's “acclaimed” Skeletal Gardens. It's official release is Valentine's Day, Sunday the 14th. It will be available on iTunes, amazon, eMusic, and lala. There is also going to be a handmade edition, which will be made available here post-haste. In the meantime feel free to ogle the tracklist below.

Illuminated House Single

IllumFront|/public/illumfront.jpg]IllumBack[

Illuminated house is one of the last songs off the forthcoming album 'Fashion Chrysalis', which should be out by late november, early december. The track is kinda halloween-y, so i thought I'd make it into a little single to post for today. The other track is a song recorded just for the single.. You can download it here for the time being. Hope you enjoy it, and Happy early Halloween!

Also....

I'm going to make 15-20 handmade editions of Fashion Chrysalis that I will sell on this blog for $12. Or however much. I need to find out how much it'll cost to make.

Hey, this is just a quick announcement of Fashion Chrysalis, the new 10 track pacific blush LP! That's the front and back cover of the album above (which might not be final). Anyways I have some plans for the album that I will post about in the next day or so... maybe few :p I have a cold or flu or something, and I don't quite feel totally here so everything I've meant to do is taking forever.
