We've got new music and we want you all to hear it, but we really want to do something different. So what we are going to do, is release what we are calling virtual 45's, we'll release one each month for the entire year of 2018. Remember what 45's were? some of you might not, they were singles back in the old days, they're smaller vinyl records that spin faster, at 45 rpm, they had a Side A and a Side B, one song on each side, and that's how it was done, and that's how we're going to do it again, only entirely through our website, digital only (no actual vinyl 45.)
The project is called, Lucky 13, you know, because we're all so damn lucky, and 13 just happens to be our favorite number, hell I was born on the 13th, and so was Rod, my jersey in youth hockey had a big 13 on it, Rod lives on 13th St in Brooklyn, I even turned 21 on Friday the 13th, don't remember much of it but that's another story for someone else to tell. 13 just seems right.
We'll be releasing each virtual 45 on the 13th of every month, starting January 13th. There will be unique artwork, we'll tell you about the songs, we might even get a little weird and add some other content just for fun. Along with the download of the 45, which includes 2 brand new original songs, we will include a unique alternate version of one of those tracks, that will only ever be available by purchasing that 45, the alternate version track will never be on a record, it will never be on iTunes, and it will NEVER be on Spotify.
That's 24 new tracks and 12 alternate versions for your listening pleasure, so get on board, and join us all year long for brand new music from Yarn.
Lucky 13's virtual 45's is gonna be a good time, you'll see, stay tuned...
Blake mentioned on Instagram where is going to be recording a solo acoustic yarn classic that will be included with every release. One more week. I can’t wait.
