First Snows & Last Leaves

So this single thing took on a life of it's own, and became a 6 track mini EP of sorts. Two original tracks plus four remixes rounding it out to a nice, comfortable 27-ish minutes. I guess I have a thing for 6 track releases. I wonder if I'll keep it up for the next one, or break the mold a little. Time will tell.

The A-side of this single, First Snows of Summer, was originally released as a very rough work in progress at Em411 almost exactly two years ago. It's come a long way since then, as I think you'll hear if you compare the two versions. Last Leaves of Spring is much newer, and sprang almost full formed from my brain one day while testing some new plugins. I think it actually took about 3 days overall, but the bulk of it was created right off the bat.

As for the remixes, they're all stupendous, in completely different ways. I love hearing remixes of my own work, because they always surprise me, digging unheard possibilities out of things I've already created. So extra special thanks to: Hjalti (as always); The Quarry Stone; The Celibacy Club (who we should be hearing more from); and Utofbu (whose new Realise EP on Sofarock is quite fantastic indeed).

Cover photography is by the supremely talented Serene Careaga, who is kind enough to let me use her gorgeous imagery. I knew this shot was an album cover the second I saw it. I'm glad it could be mine.

So please! Download and enjoy. There's more coming, I promise.
