Nicholas Szczepanik - Dear Dad CD 2010 (GEA / BF)

[SRA]

Dear Dad, my first solo outing since The Chiasmus, was officially released today on CD, limited to 200 copies, each in a unique Goat Eater Arts sleeve.  I don't have much to say, personally, about the album, so here's a very short excerpt that really doesn't reveal anything at all: http://www.bassesfrequences.org/songs/nszcz_whenimnolongerafraidofyou_sample.mp3

Here's a review of it in the April 2010 issue of WIRE magazine: http://grab.by/4f9z

Here's an excerpt from another review on Mapsadaisical:

"While colluding with something so very private is at times rather uncomfortable, the undeniable strength of feeling involved makes Dear Dad an unforgettable listening experience."

Anyway, a special thanks to Anthony and Jerome and the respective labels (Goat Eater Arts (USA) and Basses Frequences (France)) for the support and passion in getting this out there.  And just as important, I want to thank Steven Flato for the incredible mastering job he did on this album.

And post back here after listening to it 'cause I want to know what you all think!  Thanks again.

At least 60 of the 200 copies have already been sold in the first week, according to the labels.  Just wanted to give you the heads up...

Here's an interesting write-up on it:  http://www.mountain7.co.uk/index.php?/archives/363-Nicholas-Szczepanik-Dear-Dad.html

Recommended album

Goat Eater Arts has only three copies left.

Not sure what it's like on Basses Frequences end, but it's probably low as well.

As an album Dear Dad can be fit in with some of the best drone albums from the past few years. This one goes without blinking of the eye as highly recommended.  Rating: 9.3/10
