New Phideaux album "Number Seven" now out

Howdy folks, my name is Phideaux Xavier and my band Phideaux (yes, it's a band and I suppose it can only seem like I'm a huge egomaniac...) have just released our new album.

It's called Number Seven and it's a long song cycle thing with a theme.  If you like baroque/folk/instrumentally challenging music, check it out.  I won't bore you with too many superlatives, but I will suggest that we worked hard to let the music take us on a journey.  I think we succeeded in moving beyond the confines of our last album "Doomsday Afternoon".

Already? All the long wait and suddenly it's out? Neat beans. A wonderful surprise. Already ordered.

Will order it soon.
Looking forward to seeing you in the 8/6 Brooklyn show.

What's your Canadian distribution like? Some of us have tried to steer clear of internet orders...


Regardless, really looking forward to this!

Yeah, we don't have any canadian distro...  Too bad.  I should look into that.  As to Liquid's comment about long songs -- you are right that we did split them up.  It's pretty much for goofiness sake and because I wanted to be able to go to certain sections -- also, sometimes it's not clear where songs begin and end, there are various different types of epics that can be created out of these pieces...

Can't wait to hear it! High expectations after the magnificent Doomsday Afternoon. 

To answer your question Avestin, we just sent off an order to Laser's Edge.  Ken is right that I did stumble upon Greg at NEARfest -- His was the first table in the room.  Also, I know Greg by sight and he's carried our albums from the beginning.  So, he snapped up the full 100 discs that I had arranged to be shipped out (they arrived from the printers after I left for NF).  Honestly, I was glad not to have to go table to table offering them to folks that I don't personally know -- also, breaking through the inevitable crowds around each table to say, "Hello I'm Phideaux Xavier and I have my new album here, would you like to carry it?"  That would have been quite embarrassing for such a low key person such as myself.    I should be better at introducing myself to folks, but I'm really quite shy.

Believe me Phideaux, all those people at NEARfest would know you and be happy to talk to you.  Just ordered mine off Kinesis for the low, low price of $11.99.  What a deal.

Um, I just noticed... My amazon order says it will ship sometime in the next one to two months? What's that about? Should I cancel that and go elsewhere with it?

I ordered it on the 25 of June, when I read this post. Items are still not yet shipped.
