Scratch - a new album

Steinberg Lounge
1

Hi folks,

I’ve been busy with work and my music for way too long, so apologies for not catching up with any work from yourselves. I did listen to a few this morning which was a lot of fun. It’s always interesting to hear what others are doing. I don’t necessarily like it all but I do listen.

I’m presenting a completed album this time. Thanks to those who listened to a number of the songs I released over the past year or so. Not many comments but those given were appreciated.

The album is called Scratch. For the most part the songs are about how I deal/am dealing with my mental health particularly when going through a few bad patches at work (I am a secondary music teacher). The songs reflect a state of mind and hopefully show an element of working through the issues and finding some sort of solace - even if it’s only in the music. The basic rock group sound has been chosen for the songs and I hope the sound is clear enough to let the lyrics shine through. The second half is made up of 3 linked instrumentals which I realise give a really good counter balance to the songs.

Hope you can find a way to listen to the whole album.

Good song, intelligent arrangement and very good mix for the type of song it is. Personally I would ‘fatten’ it up a bit, but if this is the sound you want, that’s ok too, of course.
There’s a nice ‘listenable’ quality in your ‘stuff’, have you approached any radio stations, ABC and other less commercial ones? I think you’d get a fair bit of air play.

Nice,

Thanks Mauri,

I did want a clear sound, letting each instrument speak for itself, so I’m glad you picked up on that. Personally, I’m fat enough. And no, I haven’t approached anyone other than the wonderful people on this site to listen. I write and record as a personal pleasure, if others enjoy too then that’s a bonus.

Thank you again.

Jonathan
