Independent Project Records

“The demos were like neglected little seeds that had been set aside, or fallen on fallow land”, David J reflects. “They’ve been gathered up, nurtured, tended and brought back to life as little buds. Now this is the bloom”.

Where the original recordings invited us to be in the room as a young singer-songwriter found his own way (wandering in the fields of experimentation and collecting the meanderings that followed), the new album puts us in front of an artist who has mastered the art of pruning.

We are thrilled to announce the release of Tracks from the Attic Revisited, David J’s new album, coming to you on 22nd May. Pre-save/pre-order: orcd.co/trksfrmtheatti…

I caught up with Bruce Licher of @IndependentIPR to find out about his love of album artwork, the joy of old school DIY, and his extensive dig to create his 45 year label retrospective double album, titled The Well. tinyurl.com/BruceLrIPR #music #indie #DIY #art
