  5. Thanks! We had a really talentet local collage artist and singer-songwriter create it for us, along with some imagery we'll be using for the back cover and single artwork. We all contributed in some capacity to her debut album, as well!

  10. Thank you!

    Gahhh, you're all too kind ❤️ thank you so much for listening and taking an interest! If you dig that record, this one should really do something for you. It's a lot hookier and more cohesive while still allowing all of us to bring songs to the table.

  17. Man that's so cool to hear, thank you so much. I think one of the biggest jumps we made on this new one is more tracks incorporating all three of us (especially vocally), which is funny because the songs were mostly written separately before being expanded as a group. I'm really excited to share it with everyone in here.

    We are down to mixing like the final two tracks. July 1st can't come soon enough!

    Not to spam the thread, but Jake is mastering the singles now and I updated our socials if anyone would like to follow:

    https://www.facebook.com/croonerband/
    https://www.instagram.com/croonerband/?hl=en
    https://mobile.twitter.com/croonerpa

    Trying to be more active this cycle (and moving forward in general) because we don't have many, haha.

    Also mixes are subject to change but they're close to being finalized, so if anyone would like a link to the unmastered album, just let me know and I'd be happy to send. I listened through today and I'm just so excited to share it with others, so that's where I'm at. Thanks guys!

  20. At the point, you might as well wait for this one haha. The last record's not bad, just...scrappy. A little different. Thanks for checking it out :)

  22. We kinda missed the boat on announcing today, so that (along with streaming) will be next Friday, but until then, the singles are now available on Bandcamp and Soundcloud! Any proceeds from these singles will be donated to the Western PA Fund for Choice.



    I can't wait to share this album with you. I hope you hear something you like. :blush:
     
  23. These songs are hilariously good. Strong lyricism jumped out to me right off the bat with "Woke up this morning to the voice of God, it sounded just like my neighbor's shotgun," and that continues through all three tracks.

    The production sounds really crisp and clear, but at the same time warm and inviting. I love that plucky bass sound on this style of music.

    Also love how hooky these are. All three are immediately memorable and there are some great instrumental hooks in there, as if the vocal hooks weren't enough. Like the bass runs in the 2nd verse of Voice of God and the layered keys/synths in the chorus of Heaven in a Hurry.

    Super well done all around. Can't wait to hear the rest!

  24. Goddamn, this is such a wonderful compliment. Thank you so much for for the kind words, Teddy will be particularly stoked about you mentioning the bass and "Voice of God" was the first song I wrote front to back all on my own, so that means a lot to me. @sophos34 knocked the mastering out of the park.

    Listening to your record right now!!

  25. Wow, Voice of God is the first song you wrote on your own? Never would have guessed that. Really impressive and mature songwriting on that one. Love how evocative the lyrics are.

    Agreed, both the mixing and mastering sound pristine. Really lets the strength of the songs shine through!
