With the move to my new place - which finally seems to get into gear somewhat, albeit very slowly - taking longer than expected (I won't bother you with the - very - sordid details, which involves a court case), I felt it was just getting too long a wait before I could start recording new music in what will become my new studio (even if I may hang onto the 'Rose Creek' name; there *is* a creek in the back behind the garden, after all). So, with more time on my hands than I actually wanted to have, I decided to put that time to good use and record three new songs, which became this new release, the 'Analog Days' E.P.

It was a real joy to record again and I'm really happy with the end result. I hope you'll like it as much as I do.

As I always try to achieve, there's a lot of diversity between the songs. 'Once' is a short and swift unapologetic gothic rocker. I don't often to short, but here, it just works
'Expectations' experiments a lot with the bass and drums, which lie at the origin of how this song came to pass, but it also never relents in its own way.
'Analog Days', the title track, is a song I've been chewing on for years. That is to say, I had the lyrics for years, and I had an idea of how the song should sound and what tempo it should be in, but I just could never find the right melody. Until I was experimenting with clean, double delay guitar sounds and out came these two riffs, which spawned a bass part, which spawned the drum parts, all of which spawned a synth part, almost effortlessly and all at once, 'Analog Days' was finally born. I always knew that once it came into existence, it should be the title track of its own E.P.

So here it is : 'Analog Days' in all its glory. I hope you'll like it as much as I do!
