It's May 2nd, and #BandcampFriday. Take a sec to check out some artists you've never heard and snag a couple fresh tunes.

We're coming up on the first anniversary of debut EP, ExoAnthro! Its tales of a crumbling beige timeline almost seem aspirational lately. 😅

The new Bow Ever Down EP has been mixed and mastered. Kimberly will announce the release date, but suffice it to say, it will be soon!

We finished tracking for the new Bow Ever Down EP last night. Just needs a little bit of post-pro polish and it'll be ready. After that ... there's frankly so much new stuff to work on that it's a little daunting.

If true, it'll be time to pull all Bleak Assembly content off of Spotify.
Spotify is going to allow "deluxe" premium users to remix your music with AI powered remix tools, and your distributors are updating their terms to allow that to happen

The replacement bass tuners are supposed to arrive today and they can't come soon enough. This week has taught me how much I rely on that damn bass to solve chord progression and transition issues in songs. I'm sitting here with a song in my head and CAN'T. FIGURE. OUT. THAT. LAST. FUCKING. NOTE.

So much for working on that bassline tonight. That's a first. The tuning peg sheared off.

Yeah, this. The reason it works for us is because we're in different countries and we can tag-team our existential dread. We're currently working on a stack of new Bow Ever Down tracks that K. wrote over the last few months. If I had to write new Bleak music right now, I'm not sure how that'd work.
"Things might be tough but it's great for artists! They'll create more!" You might not believe me but going through a lifetime's worth of stress Every Single Week for years and years- is actually not the optimal set of circumstances that inspires artists to create

Our sister project, Bow Ever Down, has a great new release out. It's a bit different and not the sort of thing you'll hear at the clubs. A voice, a piano, and very little else. Kimberly has an incredible voice. boweverdown.bandcamp.com/album/unveiled

And having a positive ratio of followers to following won't either.
Just a reminder that BlueSky doesn't have an algorithm that pushes posts into your Following feed. If you want to get eyes on someone elses post, you need to repost or quote-post it. Simply liking posts won't get more views.
