Very Important News

So, as most of you should know, I've been in the studio for the past month or so recording the upcoming EP.  Corey (Rock Hard Recording) and I have come up with some great stuff and I'm very excited for you all to hear it.  However, since the both of us are taking the record quite seriously and want it to be GREAT rather than OK, I've made the difficult decision to push the release date back.  This past week was very stressful for me because I've been saying that the record was coming out this October, yet we weren't really all that close to done.  I kept thinking "What the hell am I supposed to do?!  We need to speed this along!"  

I don't want this record to sound rushed.  The whole object of the album, for me, was to make the listener feel a sense of freedom.  When I say freedom, I mean that feeling you get when you're standing in the middle of a field, swimming way out in the ocean, or running through the woods.  Those experiences are the best things about this earth, in my opinion, and I want to try and share that with everyone through this particular record.

Now that I sound like I just smoked a joint, my point is this:

I am not letting this album sound rushed.  We will continue on in the studio as we have been and take the time needed and make it great, rather than good.  Once I feel comfortable with a particular release date, I'll fill you all in on the details.  Thanks so much for reading.
