New album is now properly out for people to listen to. It's called Random Acts Of Kindness Have Saved Lives and you can stream it on the new Bandcamp here:
or preferably download it from Megaupload here. If you download it here you get the songs in full WAV files which have lost none of the sound quality that the files on bandcamp have, they really sound a lot clearer and I've also included a 14 page digital artwork in the folder with lyrics, pictures, credits etc. You can download it here:
If you haven't used Megaupload before it's really simple once you know how.
If you don't have it already you need to download WinRar (or another software for extracting/compressing files). It's a small, clean and free trial of a software which you can use to compress folders on your computer to make them easy to share online or just to free up space. Just search WinRar download on google.
On the right hand side you will see an icon saying Premium Download (ignore this unless you are a member)
Below there is a timer
Wait for the timer to count down to 0 and an icon saying Regular Download will appear
A menu will pop asking if you want to save or open the file
Press Save and put it in a folder where you can find it easily eg Desktop
Once it has finished downloading go to the folder and you will see a Zip icon of the album
Right click on the icon and press 'Extract Files'
Chose where you want the album to be extracted to and wait for it to finish
You're done, full high quality wav files of all the songs on the album, artwork and lyrics all waiting on your computer ready to be added to ITunes or whatever software you use. or to burn to CD.
Hope that's helped clear things up a bit, if you can put up with the slightly annoying kid talking you through it, this video is actually a pretty comprehensive guide to how to do the things I've just mentioned:
"A quiet waif of an album I found in my inbox. Random Acts of Kindness is an understated effort, and if you aren’t paying attention it will fly by your ears before you know you were listening to it. But when you do listen, it’s rewarding. If This is a Man clearly has a distinct vision for his music and it blends a variety of influences (shoegaze, electronica, psychedelia, ambient, singer-songwriter tunes) into coherence. It’s got a well-placed sample from the film Network too, so that nets it some points with me for sure. The whole album is free on Bandcamp for streaming and downloading, so check it out!"
I put a little preview of the album up on bandcamp and sent it to a hand full of places for previews. One of the picks on Lucy Listens:
"Little Things- If This Is A Man:
A soft lovely voice with alike music to accompany it. This is another song that comes from a whole album of good songs. The Album is called Random Acts Of Kindness Have Saved Lives."
Just a little banner I made to add to forums and myspace etc to link people to the facebook page which though I underuse is probably the best point of contact for most people.
If you want to add it to your website whatever form that may take that's cool, just copy and paste this html to the relevant place:
The good people at Stoke Sounds will be playing 'Lazarus' the opening track from 'There Is Hope In Small Things' tomorrow evening (Monday 22nd August) on their radio slot on 6 Towns Radio from 7-9 pm. When the album is finished I'll be going in to play a live acoustic session of some new material, maybe throw in a cover version and hopefully play some of the actual recorded album too. I'll keep you updated on here and Facebook.
