Sixth Sun

 The new release, "Sixth Sun," is on the Harsh Reality label and Church of the Noisy Goat.

"The duo, a collector of Bandcamp Ambient Blues/Folk Music chart wins, arrives on our shelves today. Ed Drury (electric and acoustic guitars, Ebow, Synth Tabla Patch on the Dark Romance track and Synth Drone on the Hypnotic Void track) and Chris Phinney (synthesizers, electronics, drums, final mix, cover art), the two accomplished musicians and songwriters are releasing a new work here, and also, soon, on Chris Phinney's legendary Harsh Reality Music label. An album for you to modulate your brain, and consequently, your mood is about to be yours if you want it. Ed Drury's signature guitar meets Chris Phinney's magical drones, and together they create soundscapes worthy of a cult film soundtrack. The two have many cool references to psychedelia, blues, and ambient music, and they do it with great mastery." - Bode Gustav

Ghosting Not Gone

 Released on Bandcamp: Ghosting Not Gone

A twelve-track meditation on the people that walk with us throughout our lives as memories or 
ghosts. People who, for whatever reason, are no longer physically with us but whose words and expressions linger with us. Before I give you the link to the album, I thought I would explain a little bit about Bandcamp purchases.

This album is 100% free to own until May 15th. You will receive a link to download it in any format you need for free. If you spend even just one dollar, you also will be able to access and stream it permanently on Bandcamp (unpurchased tracks have a five-play limit on streaming). Of course, you can pay as little as a dollar or whatever you feel like paying during this two-week offer.  So here is the link:
