I am still the process of producing the debut Black Psalms album and let me tell ya, things are going well. There’s so much support lined up for this that it humbles me. The material of other musicians helping me on this project also humbles me.

So the news is basically this, there will be a Black Psalms website soon and you’ll get to hear some new material that’ll be vastly unlike what a lot of you have heard from me but also very much like it in some ways. There will be CD’s and a download option. If support is big enough, I may even consider a vinyl version. Josh Darling of SIMPLY DARLING FILMS has agreed to work on not just live performance footage but actual music videos, in-between his primary projects of course.

There’s other stuff I can’t say. I will imply that I have distribution and this distribution is the result of the work I’ve done on Guilty Sunrise and the wildfire rate at which it spread (humbled, again). That’s as much as I’ll say without stepping on toes.

There are a few musicians lined up to work on this. I can’t give a definitive “roster” yet, aside from Daniel Speaks who has been pivotal in finishing up the track I spoke of a while back (Dying in Memphis). He is of the infamous musical project Lobotomy Baby, http://www.myspace.com/lobotomybaby1 .

This project is turning out to be a lot more “professional” than past endeavors in so far as there’s much professionalism surrounding it. People who aren’t flakes, pretenders and ego-maniacal assholes.

Sincerely,

Josie Gallows

Some days, I’m a beetle in an ant mound. My rugged shell battling the colonists. Hundreds of colonists. I march down and down as my eyes become a snack, my legs chip away and snap and my body is consumed. My armor useless, my diligence for nothing, the colony the victor. I just thought there might be some shit at the bottom of this hole I could enjoy.

Let it be known that on this day, Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010, that I, Josie Gallows have penned the immortal quote that no man hath quoted before:

May all of your caviar wishes turn into more delectable fishes!

Mankind, you may now use this as your new “goodbye!” or your new “Sincerely, (blank)”.

This is my epic contribution to the world of poetry for I am brilliant.

Godspeed,

Josie Gallows

I’ve got some free time. I’m going to be working extensively on an EP of Black Psalms material and it IS getting released. I’ll be combining what I planned on for the next Guilty Sunrise release with this, but that doesn’t mean GS is dead. Just sat down until I can complete a Black Psalms release. I’ll be working with a marginally defective Roland GR-30 Guitar Synth and production started today on a song tentatively called Dying in Memphis, an emotional parody of Walking in Memphis.

With this I am actually seeking out collaborative musicians. My mind is open at the moment.

Hello,

Added some more art to the art section. Still trying to get everything properly photographed and organized. This whole site is getting revamped soon with more color, more media and more pizazz.

Furthermore, I would like to thank those that have been using the donate button lately. It means a lot. These donations go directly into production costs for what is turning out to be an exhaustive process that’s requiring more than what I had on hand for the first release of GS which I believe I spelled out in various places (in short: old computer, karaoke mics, buckets).

I want you fine folks to know what your donations are going to:

The “wishlist” was the easiest way for me to set that up and help show the budget of what I’m trying to do. Primarily, I’m trying to get a new recording interface (the Korg D888) so I can get better sound quality and spend less time fidgeting with settings and more time writing.

Of course, I’m not relying on donations alone to accomplish this goal but they will be necessary so I thank you deeply.

Thanks!

G.S. Vol. 2 is in the works. This volume will be a continuation of what was presented in the first 4 tracks of volume 1 yet longer and more elaborate.

You can currently listen to or download Vol. 1 on the music page.

Welcome to the new josiegallows.com . If you remember the website from before, it’s now a bit more integrated and blog stats friendly. I’ll have plenty of content up soon but until then the essential downloads of Guilty Sunrise Volume 1 is available in the music section and the art gallery is being reconstructed. In the coming weeks there’ll be plenty of blog posts, new music, art and writing. Further, this website will be integrated fully with facebook through nifty software so you should be able to access and comment on material on here through either site.

If you downloaded Guilty Sunrise before and enjoyed it take note that there is now a paypal Donate button on the bottom left hand corner of this website. There is no set donation amount, just tip what you want. Seeing as how most everything I’ll ever do will be essentially free, donations would help in production costs.

Thanks.
