Latest note from Texas....just drove 400miles for a work trip. Cranked Light/shade and jHimm all the way.
As I noted above..I already loved Falling..and Memento....both were heavy rotation all week...but this trip let me absorb Erin Shores and it just blew me away! The Celtic intro and tribal drums sound super...and then that wonderful arp sounding melody w acoustic guitar! That part is perfect. The whole album is awesome. Bravo brother! Peace The fisher king |

Just chiming in on this album...
I know it's hard to get our independent productions to be heard..and then it's even a gift if anyone listens more than once and really gets the music.... So far I have three on that list...JHimm, Salt in Spirit, and Spleen A. This album is very good. I have listened to it all every day for over a week...I get that same craving to hear it as I do a Transatlantic or Flower kings album....that's a good sign to me. The songs are epic. Well played and wonderfully arranged. Great retro prog honoring of classic sounds...trons, moogs, ARPs, rickenbacer(sounding) bass....etc...juicy stuff. Special note to use of the mellotron....just amazing...my favorite aspect of this album. The long epic Memento...never loses me...I look forward to each transition and part. Which is the key to pulling off an epic long song...maintaining interest...Spleen does. Genesis, King C, Pink F, Yes...all flavors included...but never copied. I really dig this album.. Buying it. Support the cause!! Peace The fisher king

Hi there!!
Spleen Arcana's new album nearly ready to be released!! I thought it'd be great to have some reviews here first but I don't really know how? Maybe sending a promo link to reviewers of my first album? Thanks

Hi Proggers!
A quick note to share with you Spleen Arcana's Patreon page here : http://www.patreon.com/spleenarcana Patreon is a new and exciting project that allow independent musicians to release their music on a regular basis and fans to support them! It's a bit like Kickstarter but for lighter regular projects like songs... Hope you'll enjoy the concept and the new music to come! The first song I'll release on Patreon will be a song from the upcoming Spleen Arcana's second album. Thanks

Hi everyone!
Some news about the recording process... which goes pretty well these days! I'm working on vocals and I'm nearly done! Less vocals parts and more instrumental moments on this album actually More vintage keyboards and fuzz bass as well  I still need to find a title and the artwork for the album but I already have some ideas. By the way my first album is available for 1 until Sunday in my store (or for free by joining the mailing list!) : http://spleenarcana.bandcamp.com/album/the-field-where-she-died More to come soon... Thanks

Hi everyone and happy new year to all!
A new year means a new song for Spleen Arcana I just released a brand new track yesterday available for download at Bandcamp : http://spleenarcana.bandcamp.com/track/erin-shores-part-one And here is the "homemade" clip : I hope you'll enjoy this new song which will be on my upcoming second album. Do you think I can open a thread about it in the News/Press Releases forum? Many thanks

Hi!
Working hard on my second album, I'm thinking of its upcoming release and I need your opinion here : It's keyboards recording time here, I feel there's a lot more keyboards than on the first album, I don't know if it's a reality, but from here, it looks like it... Thank you very much

Hello, Julien! Nice to see you here!
Now listening to Platypus ... heavily and darkly illuminated sounds like lethal venom in spurs ... a wonderful song.

Yea, after listening to your myspace, it seems that "A Picture Of Two Lovers In The Mist" and "Trample On Me" have a lot of room for innovation. But I mean don't really take my words too seriously, I'm not exactly a musical genius and your creative capacities are most likely far greater than mine.

Thanks a lot for your interest!!
To be honest, I don't really know where I'm going I mean that it's not planned... I listen to a lot of music, including extreme music and I really like to add various elements from different styles, it can happen...Did you listen to A Picture Of Two Lovers In The Mist? I would be curious to know if what happens at the middle of the song is a bit like what you are talking about? |
