Christmas and 2019

So here's our Christmas album, a collection of classic Christmas covers and original instrumental bits.  It's a really good Christmas album and the material on it is brand new, recorded less than a month before it was released. This one is pretty self explanatory, so instead I'll be talking about what 2019 holds for The Brown Christmas.

First and foremost, we're just about up to date with releasing all the new albums we have recorded. This March will be three years straight of releasing a new album every month, and I figure that's a good stopping point. We no longer have piles of recorded audio backing up our output pipeline; so if we were to continue at this pace we'd literally have to be recording, editing, and making art for a new album every month. Truthfully we probably could do that, but I'm not sure for how long without loosing our minds. This isn't to say we will no longer be releasing new albums; we'll just be slowing down to maybe one every few months, or basically whenever we have new material and time to edit it.

Not having a new Brown Christmas album to put out every month will also allow me time to shift my focus to some other projects. I'd like to go through all the music we've release these past three years and make some weird music videos to accompany some of the tracks. I'm also hoping to get our really early albums cleaned up and made available on our bandcamp, along with some bonus tracks.

Aside from Brown Christmas related stuff, I'm planning to start going through the hours upon hours of solo material I have recorded as Chalk Harmonica Vibe and gradually start trickling out albums for that project. There are also several new side aliases and collaborations I hope to release as well, including my newage/ambient project Bathroom Plants. So clearly there will be no shortage of musical output coming this year.

Get ready for new, exciting, strange sounds coming your way in 2019!
