The psychedelic retro design above might seem like a non-sequitur if you’ve seen the existing dark and gothic cover artwork for the upcoming (self-titled) In The Branches album, but this was the result of yesterday’s Photoshop session with the release in mind. I want to have everything ready for release by this weekend, so we’ll just have to see how this stylistic battle goes down.

With this new album comes a simple new In The Branches website, a sign that this “side project” is increasing its presence in my daily life. It can take a long time to give a project the time it needs to develop, but I’ve been clearing room for all of my music projects to get the time and attention they need to thrive.

This newest release promises to be absolutely mellow, like “As Real As A Dream” in some ways, but perhaps with more moments on the darker side of things. Stay tuned for the album release in the coming days!
