One year ago today I self-released Music for the DMV (and in celebration, it’s discounted on Bandcamp to $3 til the end of August!). I’ve had a lot of great response to the album. I decided to do a little recap of what the past year has looked like in terms of promoting the album. I’ve embedded an image of the report below, or you can download as a PDF here.
There were also quite a few other positive results from this project. I didn’t include this in the statistics, but the songs “Club Clanger” and “Ambient Industrial Gymnopedie” are part of WEATNU Radio’s rotating playlist and have each been played more than 200 times over the past year. “Club Clanger” was also licensed for commercial use (know where? Tell me!). I met new friend Xqui and we released a 2-song EP. I was invited to submit tracks to 4 different compilations (here, here, here, and here). I turned one of the live sets I recorded into Departure 2019, a name-your-price digital download and cassette tape. I contributed vocals that Whettman Chelmets used in a live set and subsequent release. The wonderful Yeah I Know It Sucks not only reviewed Music for the DMV, but also every single other thing I’ve ever released!
It’s been a great experience. I’m getting close to finishing up my next album and looking forward to whatever new experiences that release brings.
