I am subscribed to you but I never got the chance to read your Substack posts due to the illusory world keeping me distracted lol. Anyways, I finally got the time to read a couple along with this announcement thoroughly.

Congratulations! I am so happy for you. Less than a month away and your music will be ours to enjoy! 🖤 The cover art is so richly layered and I can't wait for you to share with us the myriad of symbolism in your album. Looking forward to reading more!

CONGRATULATIONS, Alicen!! 👏🥂

I gno how gratifying it is to finally be approaching the finish line for a long-term passion project like this, and you deserve to celebrate the birth of your new baby after all that labor of love!

I was a big fan of the Sneaker Pimps, too, and your teasers also reminded me of the Breeders, Veruca Salt, and a Swedish grunge/alternative rock band called Salt hardly anyone knows (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNzpeAHVvv0https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_(band)). Also Strange Boutique (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWNnqfGUEYQ) and His Name Is Alive (awesome collaboration w/ the Brothers Quay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9uf25wHhs0) come to mind. I could go on but need to work on my post :-)

Will it be available on vynil?

I hope so! I plan to start with CDs, then based on how the sales go, graduate to vinyl. It's expensive to press vinyl & I've already spent a significant amount of money just to make the album, so if I do vinyl for ya, I'm going to need your help to promote the album 😜
