Broken Hearted Toy reviews Our Album "The Shadow of the Marigold!"


2016 has already been a pretty significant year for our band, whitewolfsonicprincess. We ran a successful IndieGoGo campaign for our new album "The Shadow of the Marigold, " we are in talks with a Music Publisher about licensing opportunities for our latest batch of songs, and we've already gotten some radio play in the States and Europe for one of our tracks.

Only a small group of people have even heard the album yet. Unless you know one of the band members, the record is almost impossible to get. We are doing a "slow roll-out," - official release date is April 7 - that day our album with be available on iTunes, Apple Music and Google Play.

"Word of mouth" for the record has been really positive. Terry Flamm at Broken Hearted Toy is the first to review the record. Terry has a pretty unique perspective on the work, he knows us well from years of seeing our work with our little theater group Black Forest.

It is so gratifying to know that people are listening, and it does seem like the work is connecting with people. It's funny, we are not trying to make "international pop hits," or "radio-friendly" tracks,  and not trying to follow any trends, not trying sound like anyone else but us. But at the same time, it's exciting when people do sit down and really listen.

We are happy with the work, we think it's the most finished, layered, and cohesive set of music we've ever done. We play with some pretty amazing, talented musicians. A great group vibe! And so happy with the production - recorded & mixed by Victor Sanders, and mastered by the legendary Ray Kennedy @ Zen Masters in Nashville TN.  Ray has worked with some of the all-time great musical artists: Richard Thompson, Lucinda Williams, John Prine, Ray Davies, Stevie Nicks, Steve Earle. It was Ray's work on Thompson's "Electric," and Lucinda's "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road" that led us to Ray. And Ray really gives the record a warm, analog feel!

If you want one, a CD with a cool 12 page booklet and a WWSP post card, message me, you can order one, and we will mail it to you... the old fashioned way!
