Gang Of Foreigner On Bandcamp

 

Gang Of Foreigner is on Bandcamp now.  You can find it here:  https://wredfright.bandcamp.com/album/gang-of-foreigner.  What's your favorite song?  I picked "Smart Set" as the featured track.  Mainly because it's the first track anyway, but it probably would be the leadoff single if we were living in the old days when lps and cds were the main ways music was released.  Of course, all the songs on the album were singles already, as I released them as they were recorded.  And many are my favorites with a few remaining in my current set.  It will be interesting when the album hits Spotify to see what the most popular track will be.  It's often a surprise and not just for me.  Pavement's most popular song is some late, obscure B-side that hit it on TikTok with the younger folks.  Go figure, as it is said.

Gang Of Foreigner On SoundCloud

It's out!  My new album, Gang Of Foreigner, is out on SoundCloud:  https://soundcloud.com/wredfright/sets/gang-of-foreigner.  It should be coming soon to Spotify and elsewhere (the distributor says July 2nd, but sometimes they show up earlier).  It will be coming to Bandcamp probably inbetween.  You should be able to download MP3s from Soundcloud, which I recommend.  I've been uploading digital music for years, and the sites always are dodgy.  MP3.Com disappeared, MySpace disappeared, and so on.  Eventually, the sites get bought out or go bankrupt or whatever and the tracks just disappear one day.  Best to have your own stash somewhere.  Hope you like it (if you don't, I certainly don't care)!

Gang Of Foreigner Liner Notes

The liner notes for Gang Of Foreigner can be found here:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ul5r92kPYfOySkWrmB_R9zzNMpkcsx_f/view?usp=drive_link.  I am a fan of liner notes.  I always enjoyed it when Robyn Hitchcock would have a silly short story or The Dead Kennedys would have some crazy collages and news clippings or Joe Strummer would pretend to be The Clash's butler.  Being able to stream music everywhere or download MP3s is great, but the liner notes from a cd or lp were a great part of the fun of buying a new record, so I am doing my part to keep that tradition alive.  The album will be out shortly.  The next post will likely announce the album's presence on SoundCloud.
