Spleen Arcana

I just listened to Trample on Me (I actually plan on buying your album off Itunes once I have some dough to throw around), and I was wondering if  you've contemplated the usage of growls or yells in any of your music?It just seems that your musical style opens up a lot of different vocal options in some of your songs, and I really think that the addition of some Arkfeldt-esque growls might add an extra dimension to your music. Many times it seems like a song is about to explode into a kind of Extreme Metal frenzy but immediately calms down. That's just my 2 cents 

 

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. 

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 

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 

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  

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
