The album - the last few steps

Dear crowdfunders, groupies, fellow music makers and the curious

Just a quick note to bring you up to speed on things here in A Seated Craft world.

The album has finally been mastered, all the way over on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. Needless to say, it sounds pretty damned good...

The team and I have also been putting together the rewards that were part of the crowdfunding project from last year. We have beautiful cloth bags and t-shirts with artwork by the wonderful Emily Sweetman, singing musical cards and some amazing collaged limited edition CD covers. All we need to do now is the final artwork for the album, which will be sewn up in the next three weeks. Once that's done, CD will be sent off for pressing and, on its return, will be shipped with any other goodies you've ordered straight to your door!

For those of you who can't wait this long, we had the pleasure of playing at Fritz Unsigned last month and you can get hear some of the new songs in a stripped-back live version here.

And if you're in Berlin, you can hear these songs in a more intimate setting when myself and Jule play the great Ä in Neukölln this Wednesday 5th March. Show starts at 9pm, no door fee – just a donation.

So, that's the lowdown, stay tuned for more information as we get closer to the release date and thank you again for all your support.

Love from Alexia and the crew

Liebe Crowdfunder, Groupies, Mitmusiker und Neugierige!

Nur eine kleine Nachricht, um Euch auf den neusten Stand zu bringen.

Das Album ist fertiggemastert und den ganzen Weg von der Isle of Skye in Schottland zu uns nach Berlin geflogen!! Es klingt verdammt gut..

Die Matrosen und ich haben in den letzten Wochen die Crowdfunding-Dankeschöns zusammengestellt: tolle Taschen und T-Shirts mit dem wunderschönen Artwork von Emily Sweetman sind fabriziert, musizierende Karten, Limited Editions...
Alles, was noch fehlt, ist das finale Artwork für das neue Album und das wird in den nächsten 3 Wochen fertiggestellt. Dann wird die CDs endlich gepresst und schon bald zu Euch nach Hause flattern, gemeinsam mit anderen Dankeschöns, die ihr eventuell bei StartNext ersteigert habt.

Für diejenigen unter Euch, die nicht warten können: wir hatten das Vergnügen im letzten Monat bei Fritz Unsigned zu spielen und hier könnt ihr einige unplugged Versionen neuer Songs hören.

Und für diejenigen aus und in Berlin, Jule und ich spielen ein paar Songs der neuen Platte diesen Mittwoch,05.03., um 21:00 Uhr im Ä in Neukölln.

Soviel dazu, so langsam steuern wir dem Release entgegen.. Vielen Dank für Eure tolle Unterstützung, ohne Euch wäre das alles nicht möglich.

Alles Liebe,

Alexia und die Bordbesatzung
