New Day Rising (Patreon)

Hello friends,

It's taken a while but there are finally going to be some changes around here! As I'm sure some of you are aware, I've got a solo album coming out on Sub Pop. I'll release info as the label lets me but I'm really excited to share it with you. I think it's best thing I've done lately, maybe ever. Stylistically, it's a solid mix of everything I've been working on with Wolf Parade, Handsome Furs, Operators and what I've been sharing here on Patreon. I'm really happy with it. Speaking of Patreon, over the next few weeks I'll be making some changes to the page.  Not to delve into the personal too much, but my life has finally stabilized to a point where I can retool the site and start posting some of the content I've been wanting to share.  Some of you probably noticed I deactivated my social media and stopped producing Bottlemen podcast episodes. Going forward, a lot of the things I was sharing and talking about on those platforms will move over here, along with the regular music drops. Those will be divided into Audio Diaries (a collage of field recordings, snippets of songs, dialogue) and basically podcast episodes (chats w guests, long discourse on whatever I'm obsessed with at the moment). I'd like to have one of these out a month and they'll be available for everyone. Besides that, I'll be updating a short run down of what I've been listening to/reading/watching every other week. I've always loved how you all enthusiastically share esoteric music, movies, books, games....even anime that means something to you and I'd like to do the same. 

On streaming: the Goop Gang will reassemble. I'd like to stream at least once a month, more when things aren't too crazy on the recording/touring front.  I'll be launching a new Discord where we can watch some Goopy gems. The first stream will be last week of November.

Other than that, you can expect songs, video game soundtracks, synth exlplorations and mixtapes monthly. I'll be taking down some of the demos and a few other things on the feed so DOWNLOAD THEM NOW IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY. If you miss one, message me direct and I'll mail the WAVs and art to you. 

Thank you all agin for being so supportive and RAD. In an increasingly dumb job, it's a true light.

XOXO DB
