My new record is finally up and available! It is my third full-length under the Mild Maynyrdguise, and I’m very proud of it. Again, it’s called “Hills Run Red” (which is the name of one of the first spaghetti westerns, but I liked the “red” theme too). I had been chronicling my process of concepting and creating it on this blog, but you probably didn’t see that… and I’m really awful at trying to describe it, so I’ll let the other guys in Black Lantern Music sell the concept for me:
“I know what you’re thinking, there’s not enough Wild West themed narrative sample based electronica concept albums that are as I just described but manage at the same time to not be cheesy in any way. Well the ever adventurous Mild Maynyrd, who hails from the other side of the pond so is very possibly a cattle rustling gunslinger himself (though I couldn’t confirm either way as I value my life), has cooked up ‘Hills Run Red’ for Black Lantern Music to remedy this! Its a peach, its a trip, and it tells a ripping yarn too.”
I thought that was pretty funny. Anyways, yeah it’s a bit of a risk. Of course. Just trusting that people have enough patience to get through one track (they’re each longer than 16 minutes) is itself a risk. But hey, I’m super proud of this thing and I think it’s very unique. Though I know I can still do better. This is the cover:
