Here's something I've been wanting to try out but never really had the motivation to do it. Recently I've been putting out music quicker than I've ever done before under my Cats With Hats project: https://catswithhats.bandcamp.com/

And surprisingly it's been getting increasingly good feedback. Allowing me to believe that this is easily the best project I've ever started. So, with that comes the insurmountable amount of creative flow I have going on right now. How do I cater to that? Well, for every month starting now I will be releasing a full length album. I started releasing music under this project at the beginning of April, and since then I have been able to release 5 solid full length albums that I believe are some of the best I've done. So if I can manage 5, I can obviously manage 1 per month.

Here's where I could use some help. I want to expand my horizons in making music by adding it several genres that I've never done before. For example, my Songs For The Dead album is based around atmospheric black metal and synths, while my Songs For The Living album is based around classical and ambient. You can suggest any genre or genre fusion you can think of, and I can do my best to accommodate that. I won't be able to accommodate as I'm only planning to release one album at a time. But it's definitely possible that plans change and I release 2 albums in one month. We'll see though.

I'm not posting this to showcase how good I think I am, because obviously I'm not the best thing that's ever happened. However, I want to use the opportunity that I have with my creative flow, and allow people to potentially hear something they've never heard before. I've been having a lot of fun with the ballroom / ambient style lately, but I can certainly do others. My Cvltnival album was based around black metal and synth pop so there's that.

Anyway, my next album will be coming out in May. Here's a preview of the cover:
