Today is the day: My new album „Gloom Folklore“ is finally being released! The whole album? Okay, that was a bit of an exaggeration. To be precise, it’s just the first part, as I’ll be releasing the album in 14 individual pieces – meaning as singles. This approach aligns with current listening habits, which are increasingly shaped by playlists, and with the algorithms of streaming platforms, which reward frequent small releases with more plays.
In practical terms, this means that a new Mansions In The Sea song will be released digitally every month. The full album won’t be available on streaming platforms until mid-2026.
Since I grew up with albums and still love this format, I want to offer a beautifully designed CD version for everyone who feels the same way – most likely in summer 2025. However, due to the trends mentioned above, it has become nearly impossible to finance CD pressings without covering the costs privately. That’s why I need your support!
Mansions In The Sea is completely a DIY project – there’s no label, no management, and no wealthy backers behind the scenes. So, there will be a crowdfunding campaign in the hope of covering the production costs. As soon as everything is set up, you’ll hear about it here.
But for now, I just hope you enjoy the first single: “Under Starlit Skies”! More about the song – and the album in general – coming in the next few days.
