Better Than The Book just reached 1000 followers on Twitter + some upcoming project updates!
Hello everyone and hope you're having a good time despite the isolation and lock-down and all that jazz that's going on at the moment. Just checking in today to report that Better Than The Book just passed 1000 followers on Twitter! Thanks so much for all the support and if you're not yet following you can find BTTB on Twitter here:
In other news, with not much else to do while on lock-down, I've been busy composing demos and recording for new projects and my oh my has it been a productive time! With almost 2 and a half HOURS of Jabun demos completed since November last year as of this week, I'm taking a break from composition now to focus on what I've currently got and polish them up for some new releases! As it currently stands here's what's lined up for the near(ish) future (in approximate order though with no timescales just yet):
1) A mystery metal cover song (Just waiting on a final green light, then artwork and admin stuff to do)
2) A 33 minute Jabun "LIVE" album (all recorded, needs final mixing and mastering, then artwork and admin)
3) A 37 minute Jabun studio album (fully composed and demoed, needs final recording, and all the rest)
4) A ~70 minute Jabun studio (double) album (Roughly demoed, with possible additions to come)
5) A bonus album with alternative versions, (eg: instrumentals) from the album above
(+2 more miscellaneous leftover demos I'll likely release as Patreon exclusive bonuses)
And on top of that there will definitely be a Better Than The Book bonus album coming in July! Aiming to have projects 1, 2 & 3 out before the end of the year (maybe beginning of 2021 for #3), and more details to come as and when I can share them! In any case it's looking to be an exciting time for music for the foreseeable future (and I've still got the rest of the Jabun back catalog to upload too)! Hope you're looking forward to it as much as I am!
That's it for this post and more Patreon rewards (2 exclusive bonus tracks) will be coming on my 30th birthday this Friday! Become a $5+ patron now for early access to those, and get all past rewards for your tier when you sign up including the full BTTB discography and more!
