Beltane greetings

Mayday! 

I *almost* had a new Soloman Tump album ready for Bandcamp Friday tomorrow (2nd May) but its just not quite there yet.  I don't want to rush it, and theres a couple of tracks that I'm not fully satisfied with yet to call them done. But for me, this has been great progress in terms of having an idea, recording things, and being happy with the process / output.

The release will be limited CDr and digital, and i've not quite settled on the name of the album yet.  I had fun printing the card sleeves, an excerpt below, I used storm-fall lichen gathered from Dartmoor, dried out then used as a sponge on ink pad.  The results are pretty striking and each cover will be unique.


The album is a dark drone love affair with discordant dismal loops and low-key murky noises.  Currently 6 tracks weighing in at around 50 minutes long but subject to final tweaks and sprinklings of  mushroom dust.  Hopefully released later in May or I might wait until the start of June.  I will probably play a track on Tump Clump Radio #46.

Happy Beltane one and all.
