I woke up today after a late night of UFO hunting to find that another review of Mannhunter had been published. This one is highly accurate, complimentary and dare I say quite brilliant. Needless to say my ego has been massaged and I am thoroughly re-enthused about my music. Starting today I am devoting all my time to getting the next EP finished. I have discovered through this that my ego does not crave attention for attention’s sake but rather understanding. I really do want people to understand my music and to enjoy it. I’m only interested in genuine feedback from genuine fans as it is for these like minded souls that I make my music in the first place. If you are a musical artist then your first fan must be yourself. If you don’t like the music you are making then you are making the wrong music. For the first time in my life I decided to record music that came from my heart and not my head and for the first time in my life someone who is in no way connected to me, my music or my life has properly understood it. If I can touch one soul with every release then my time is not being wasted. You can read the full review here –

I had tentatively planned my next release to be made available this week via bandcamp but I am still waiting on one track being finished and so it will not be available as planned. This is unfortunate but patience is a virtue and there really is no hurry. This is just one of the perks of not having a label or a manger on my back. I get to take my time and like in the metaphorical story of the tortoise and the hare I would much prefer to have a cosy warm shell I could curl up inside of at the end of the day than stupid big feet and ears.
