New album: Nothing Left To Abandon

Finally coming up for air... After a marathon few months (actually, almost a year I think) writing, knob-twiddling, sampling, mixing, and mastering, the tracks have taken shape.
Lo-fi vintage electronica...a time capsule of childhood, eroded topology, lost philosophies, unconquered vastness.
A little teaser vid to get you in the mood:
Album preview here:
Hope you enjoy it.

Really enjoyed that. Glad you bumped the thread too as I'd meant to check this out the other day and got side-tracked.
The music is really strong, some of the best I've heard on Twoism for a while. For my taste, I could have done with a little less of the male vocal maybe. It sounded great but maybe overpowered the actual music at times? I found myself trying to listen through the vocal to get to the music, if that makes any sense? What do others feel?
However, I'm nit-picking. This is excellent stuff.
Thanks for sharing.
Who made your video by the way? It's superb!
EDIT: checking out the album sampler now. WOW! This is killer.

hey tx Mexicola; very kind words indeed. Yeah, I wanted to do more with that BoC lo-fi/nostalgia sensibility; I've always been interested in the narrative angle so this was an experiment...trying a new direction.
I made the video myself actually, thanks; mostly stock footage, if I'm being honest. Gotta love the web!

Well I thought it was great. Sure, it fitted the BOC homage genre tightly, but when it's done this well, so what?
When's the album released? What price?

Very kind, thanks. Enpeg has priced it at $8.99 with a release date of January 13th next year.
Friday the 13th...I'm pretty sure that's some kind of lucky number.

Look forward to it. Assume that's a digital release rather than physical?

AFAIK it's digital.

Can't wait to fully hear this, really enjoying this!
You clearly captured the BoC atmosphere. I hear some nice twisted elements which obviously inspired you, detailed and very well produced too. Great skills there on the footage too!

Fantastic! Buying this on payday! Pretty glad I have these new Sony MDR7506 Pro's. Awesome video, too. I remember you sharing Everything You See Is You on soundcloud a good while back. Loved it then, love it now. All of these songs are great so far, haven't finished the listen yet. On Obsolete Advancements right now and whole-heartedly agree with Alien Sugar.

Hey thanks Tyler, that's very generous. I remember hearing your 'Winter In Ontario Test' awhile back; really dig that track. But I'm in the same boat...the holidays have been expensive :/
