Wednesday review 181224
Getting final input on Psych Surf and By Myself.
It's the minor tweak stage, then I reckon release'em as singles.
Mr Wizard thinks I oughtn't release two singles in the same timeframe for reasons that I can only see as based in 20th century thought. I don't think anyone gives a hoot as to how/when a song comes out, nor do I think there's a 'right' way to do stuff at present.
I'm guided by when the thing is finished, at which point, release the thing into the wild.
Here's where we are at:

As I can't answer the question of what goes where yet, i'm fixing to finish the songs and then work the rest out later. I think there's gonna be a flurry of work in the quiet end of year/early new year period
Singles are easier because album tracks have as they're played alongside other tracks so it has to sound cohesive which means doing so detailed mastering work and I am such a neophyte at this stuff.
There's no time demand for completion other than the fact that we like to work at this speed and there's plenty of other material that would benefit from some attention, which happens when we finish one lot of songs and move to the next.
I find the Greenhouse process fascinating, as the songs develop at their own pace and come out when they're ready. Gathering the seed ideas and nurturing them has produced some good work over the years and it's more like we're recognising a process than choosing one.
Expect a couple of singles soonish :)
