So…. the new album is mixed, mastered and being pressed up as we speak. Unfortunately, budgetary restrictions mean it will not yet be released on vinyl, but CDs and downloads will be available from early October.

Hi Paul, congratulations on your career change. Great to hear a new album is on the way. Any chance of a copy?
But do you plan to release it on vinyl?
Ohh we really would have loved to have done vinyl, but the costs were prohibitive. Keep watching though because I’d love to do it eventualy.
Dear Paul,
It was really amazing to discover your music this year through a german blog. It made a great year better and it was inspiring to my own music.
Sadfully I didn’t made it to the concert in Gera but I’m looking forward to the gig in Erfurt next year.
My girlfriend gave me your first album as an vinyl as a present for christmas. Thank you for the personal note on it. That made it special and it felt like be treated personal and not being a random guy. Thank you a lot. I wish you a great new year.

It was my pleasure Wieland. Thank you so much for your message, it’s so nice to hear from you. Please come and introduce yourself to me in Erfurt, and please tell your friends, last time I was there I played to only three or four people. All the very best to you for a happy new year. Px
