Progress Report

The world of Linden is swimming along very nicely at the moment - all pretty boring back room stuff and not worth going in to too much detail (mostly mastering and artwork kinda stuff). But with each new task complete, we get one step closer to the release of the album and even although it’s been pissing down for days in Argyll my happy mood will not be shaken… Hello Bleached Highlights, piss off rain!!

decisions decisions

I’m back home in Argyll now having finished mixing all of Bleached Highlights and it’s the first time I’ve been able to listen to all ten songs back to back. I now have to sort the running order of the album for Monday so that AED can push on with manufacturing. I’m really struggling trying to put these songs in an order that feels good for vinyl (five tracks each side) and also works for compact disc. Maybe I should do two!!

_LINDEN

Linden is the new musical project from songwriter, singer and multi-instrumentalist Joe McAlinden. The debut album Bleached Highlights is out soon on Edwyn Collins' & James Endeacott's AED Records. The album and current single Brown Bird Singing were recorded and produced at West Heath Yard in London by Edwyn Collins & Seb Lewsley and feature guest musicians James Walbourne, Paul Cook and Bart Mosh. One day it will all make sense. Until then...
