This year is already off to a wild start. I took a little social media break in December. The holidays are tough for me because I lost my Dad in December 2020. But the holidays were relaxing and fun this year. Lots of couch days.
But now it’s 2023 and we started things with a bang! We spent a week in Paris, traveling around, eating at all the cafes, and just filling our souls with adventure. It was nothing short of incredible.
Now we’re back and we sadly learned we have to move suddenly. It’s a long story. But it means things are going to be in flux for us for the next few months.
But now for Johnny Stranger stuff… I’ve been hustling and massaging the mixes for the next album (number 7). Meanwhile, we’ve been working on tracking album 8 and 9. And I’ve started writing another record to insert into the whole plan.
These albums are all about having fun, challenging ourselves, and connecting with our listeners. It’s wild to think… we’ve barely even started! We have so many songs to track, it’s overwhelming. But one day at a time. One song at a time.
We still plan on releasing songs from Album 7 this year. It’s a dark, sci-fi horror film of a record. And we plan on tracking most of album 8 (to start releasing songs in 2024). We’ll see how this sudden move will affect our release dates… but I think it’s for the best. These extra couple of months will give album 7 more time for mixing. I’m already very excited by how it’s sounding and can’t wait for you all to hear!
