- BAND PROMO - Merlotte

header from their youtube page
          This J-Rock inspired Colombian band caught my attention a few years ago, but after a silence and the release of a new single a little over a month ago, I've finally decided to talk about them here! The jazzy sound they've adopted in their new single really makes me think of Exist Trace's own jazzy style in recent work.

cover of their recent single; released 06 July 2014

             Fluorescent Shojo and Le Chat Noir are the two songs on this single - Le Chat Noir is my personal favourite ~ 

released 24 December 2012
         Their sound is more reminiscent of older visual kei/jrock bands - I think of Luna Sea and Buck Tick personally. My favourite off this single is Strange as it's a little 'harder' than ため息 but this another case of having to give each a good many listens before being able to decide which I liked better! (I suggest giving the Spanish version of the single a listen too! It's a fun comparison!)

     I hope that Merlotte makes a full album soon as I will graciously invest! Here's to hoping for their success and more music from them!!
Thanks for reading ~ See ya later Space Cowboys ~

-nightfall- possibility of an art book

~ psst check out my new header~ It's Breitkopf Fraktur and I'm pretty sure it's by Dieter Steffmann.




This has been my basic advertising image for -nightfall- and I may end up making it an end piece since it's just my first scribblings on the new tablet.
I'm hoping to have this book out by October and it will more than likely be Halloween themed. It will have 20 sheets - 40 front&back pages; soft cover will be $20 and hard cover will be $35. Since I'm uncertain of demand, it will be printed by purchase so it will take a bit.

Any of you who are interested, let me know! I will write you down for pre-order when I've gotten the art together for it!

Here's to hoping and seeing you all soon!!
Thanks~
