Greetings all! Now that we've gotten through posting all of the material from the album itself, I wanted to start sharing some details about release schedule and more peeks behind the curtain of how it all gets put together.
The first one of these is that we have a rough public release date of this December for the album. We may have to update this a bit as we get closer to the event, but right now it looks like our vinyl press date is in early December, so we're working backwards from that timeline. (holy wow does vinyl take forever these days with supply chain delays, especially cool / unique vinyl like we're doing).
Working backwards, we're likely going to release one of our new studio recordings per month on Spotify in the 4 months leading up to the release. To accompany those releases, we've commissioned new artwork from Matt Smith (who created the amazing cover art for Side Quest as well as lots of other great pieces for us over the past year).
The main concept here is that the characters from our different album covers are all going on their own side quests, before coming together on the back panel of the Side Quest album art.
The words are rather large since these will only be viewed as Spotify thumbnails, but I've also posted the raw artwork since it's just too fun
More details to come, along with some live show (!) announcements, likely next week!
