Preorder: Home

 

he really looks like a pirate on that album cover

 

Thankfully this is not a pirate metal project.

 

thankfully??

 

what are you on about this rips

 

my new favorite thread

wow shocker another beautiful tune

 

Preordered the deluxe package through Patreon early today. One of my malt anticipated. Wonder why he added “and the velvet ocean” to his moniker.

 

cus it sounds cool af

 

Gonna be AOTY for sure. I love that it was supposed to come out in August and then he said fuck it, let’s do it in June.

 

Because he’s a pirate, obviously.

 

Very excited

 

Lovely song. Always excited for more Richard.

 

According to Patreon, the velvet ocean consists of “Bloom, Pete Thomas, Johnny Flaugher, and Dave Palmer”

 

Lyric video:

 

oh fuck yes. Richard and Phoebe releasing records back to back is going to break me

 

If anyone posting here isn’t a member of his Patreon and can afford to give him 5-10 bucks a month, you should join now. He just posted an acoustic demo of January today.

 

Tracklist:
1. January
2. Monkey
3. The Things We Will Do To Each Other Someday
4. Pink lightning
5. Inchyra Blue
6. Sandraʼs Stuff
7. Cruel and Uncomplicated
8. Happy Christmas (The Whole World Has Changed)
9. Velvet Ocean, Super Moon

 

9 track albums seem to becoming a lot more prevalent lately.

 

I feel like most of these songs will probably be 4+ minutes long, and I think there are also 3 fully recorded/mixed b-sides that we’ll hear eventually. He says we’ll hear another song on Patreon sooner than we might think.

 

I think I have all the demos he has shared so far for this album... if anybody has any besides these, will you share? Some of these songs either got abandoned prior to actual recording or had name changes, it seems. Also, a lot of them have some lousy audio issue somewhere in the track, I’m wondering if he put them there intentionally to make it clear these are just demos.

PM me if you want any of these ones that I have and I’ll get them to you tomorrow. I believe these are all from Patreon at one point or another (please join his Patreon if you can!)

Christmas, 2017
