I'm rather excited, I managed to get tickets for me and Kirsty to go see La Roux in Newcastle tonight, just before I head out the door here's the latest news from Synoiz!
Ambients the debut album is out now!
My debut instrumental album of 14 electro darkwave tracks "Ambients" was released on the 31st of October to a wonderful amount of support from fans. Despite being pretty much ignored by the UK media (one local publication that I will not name choosing to put their sealed press copy on eBay rather than actually listening to it) the album managed to get a good amount of airplay on independant radio stations in the US and some commercial stations in Germany, even going so far as getting a very kind review in a Turkish newspaper!
You can get links to buy the album as well as listen to Ambients in full from the mini-site: http://ambients.synoiz.net
New single Getting Safer released 12th of December
If you've been following me on Twitter you'll know that these past few weeks have been full of the chaos of filming the music video for the second single from Ambients "Getting Safer". The single will be released worldwide through Amazon, iTunes, eMusic on the 12th of December (before the Christmas single rush I hope!).
For the release I've written two new tracks to act as b-sides. They're both worth a listen and were rather fun to make even though I was drowning in promotion/artwork deadlines for Ambients when I had to write them!We're hoping to have the video ready for the week before the release and will be available, like the video for the experimental first single "Long Lost...", on the Synoiz YouTube
Ambients makes brief appearance in Amazon top 100
In a massive surprise (considering the low-key promo the album has had and the horrific £6.99 price tag the stores have slapped on it) Ambients managed to enter into the Dance/Electronic top 100 MP3 albums on Amazon for 2 days this week. It peaked at #73 which is absolutely amazing for me. When I attempt to make some commercial material I'll be bothered about charts but to get any kind of sales achievement for an album like this is a major thing!
Hope you're all doing okay,
Kind regards,
Synoiz
