My new album! "Another Fine Mess"

Well, my album is finally here, and at last available to download. I recently found a site that not only hosts the music, but also allows you to stream the entire songs, download in all sorts of different formats, and, best of all, provide the album to you for free!

All the songs have been updated, fixed, and re-exported and sound better than those that were originally posted here.

For those who haven't been following this blog regularly to know what these songs are like, here's what I wrote about the album on the Bandcamp page:

"There's a new album coming out..."

Greg Whitehead's album, "Another Fine Mess," is a collection of piano and synth-based pop songs with plenty of thick harmonies and catchy melodies.

Recorded over three years (2009-2011), this album is a labor of love and a fulfillment of a longtime dream to finally realize the songs that have, up till now, only existed in Greg's head.

This album's musical style is centered mainly around 80s synthpop, but the 13 included songs also reflect Greg's musical influences from the past five decades.

Some of those artists include:

  •   60s: Beatles, The Association, Moody Blues.
  •   70s: Queen, ELO, Elton John, Supertramp.
  •   80s: Thomas Dolby, Howard Jones, Freiheit, Underworld.
  •   90s: Jellyfish, Ben Folds Five, Air.
  •   00s: Josh Fix, Roger Joseph Manning Jr., Scissor Sisters, Keane
Full album download includes PDF to create your own CD sleeve.
