I have recently moved to Richmond, VA, bought a house, and have been diligently working on it. Hopefully soon I can setup the studio and record some new records...until then things will be slow...and more than likely some live tidbits and instrumental music will be posted. So keep posted...until then, download and listen to all the records for free at www.arkainrecords.com and get ready for a busy fall.
Comfort is Key:
The new EP is now completed. A little folky, a little country maybe even, possibly songwritery?, who really knows, I call it music. Maybe you'll like it, maybe you wont, either way, give it a shot and make up your own mind.

White Heather:
The other new full-length, is completed as well, its thematic and varied, somewhat similar to how Senali Green was arranged. However most of the record was recorded live, with overdubs added afterward. More focused = better? Who knows.
============================================
Broken Swan Bellows:
The new full length, is finished and is available in hardcopy and for download from the Arkain Records Myspace snocap thing. You can also stream the whole record fromLast.fm/music/aspe.

This is the run-off and original solo project for my concept albums. Anything that doesnt fit within the confines of the other projects, gets listed as ASPE. Its an acronym for something dumb...everything from electronica, classical, jazz, and the avant garde and can be found herein, everything else can be found in these links:
There is a new split with Mean Moon in the process...
its called the Dead Shade (which is also the name of an entirely different one of our projects, try not to get confused)....
The split is about the Moon and the Devil.

The new LP, Just When You Want to be Invisible is finished and off to the presses. Its more post rocky-early aspe-esc than you may be used to, no lyrics, but more band-sounding...

the other EP is called "Promotion, Mr. Ponyhands", its a 7 song concept thing about various devilish things that spun off from doing the split...Its done- and once the artwork comes back from the printers, it will be available...

and the 3 way split
"One-Third, One-Third, One-Third" is also here and ready for consumption.
I'm really enjoying Senali Green.
I hear similarities ranging from
Okkervil River to Pink Floyd
to the Cranberries to Jeff Buckley
to Songs Ohia...except it doesn't sound
like any of these artists, because it has
its own unique sound.
I really like the variety of songs;
Great stuff.
