Thanks guys!
) And here's the scoop - it's out on cd baby now!
http://www.cdbaby.com/Artist/87PMActually, it was for a few days but I had to request a minor adjustment (they listed our name with lower case letters, 87pm, in stead of 87PM. No, I'm not obsessed with details.
). I also wanted to do a download myself to see whether it was ok. It has now also been approved for digital distribution which means that a lot of digital stores will be carrying it over the coming weeks (such as iTunes and Amazon MP3 but also Spotify).
It indeed took long - we do hope that we'll be able to shorten that a bit for the next ones but in the end there's also the bit where you don't feel some stuff is ready yet and you keep changing and polishing and sometimes throwing stuff out and putting new material in. And then there's the process of publishing your material which, although cd baby makes it relatively painless, still incorporates a lot of checking, rechecking, uploading and whatever...
In any case, we're really proud to release this one now into the world and a big thanks (again) to our friends Rob Palmen and Helwig Hagelaar who sung on Dust and Endless Fields respectively and Oren for his mastering and his guitar skills on Dust!
