Dear backers: we realize we've been a little quiet over here, but it's not because we haven't been busy. Au contraire, we have been working away here at Charming Disaster HQ to ship out another round of campaign rewards in time (we hope) for the holidays!
SHIPPING UPDATE:
If you ordered a T-shirt or a zipper hoodie from our campaign, good news—about 50 packages just got dropped off at the post office, with another 50 going out tomorrow (that's about how many Ellia can take over at a time, which in NYC without a car involves a large backpack and a laundry cart with a giant Whole Foods bag perched on top. It's got a real Santa's sleigh vibe).
We are also about to ship the framed oracle deck artwork to those of you who selected that reward. Check your mailboxes next week! (Or a little later, if you are overseas.)
WHAT ELSE IS BREWING:
We have re-hired Howard, the publicist who did such a great job letting the world know about Our Lady of Radium this past spring, and are getting our ducks in a row for him to start working on the new album PR in January. Yay!
One of those ducks is getting new promo photos, so yesterday we did a photo shoot with the amazing Krys Fox. We can't wait to see the pix he shot—stay tuned for our glamour shots!
We've also hired artist Gaïa Torriente to create animations for two of the songs on the new record. She's currently working on "Paris Green" and we're extremely excited to see it coming together. We'll be able to share a couple of sneak peeks from that soon.
The oracle deck artwork has been coming in over the past few weeks, and it's looking amazing. Still waiting on the last few pieces of art and then we'll be able to get the decks manufactured.
Meanwhile, we've been sharing some sneak peeks at the artwork in our new Patreon, along with other behind-the-scenes content like new works in progress and early drafts of songs you may know. If that sounds interesting to you, we invite you to subscribe to our Patreon. You can pick your level of support (as low as $1 a month, or as much as you want) to get exclusive access to everything we're sharing there.
Super Natural History's release date is on the calendar for March 3, which means we'll be shipping your albums in mid-February (it seems right for you to get them a little early). Please feel free to check in with us in the meantime, and please let us know if you have any questions.
It should go without saying that it is thanks to your support for this campaign that we are able to do all of these things! Thank you so much for helping us move this project ever closer to reality. We feel very lucky to get to make art and music for you.
XO
Ellia & Jeff
