A word about the ART

If you've downloaded the Love Basket, you'll notice that it comes with two photos whose titles coincide with the song names. This is no coincidence. Alex Crawford deliberately created two scenes that he felt reflected the nature of the separate songs. I'm looking forward to releasing more excellent artwork like this, inspired by songs as they're released. Check out his stuff. It's killer!

Happy Valentine's Day!



It's finally here! Swing States presents: the Valentine's Day Love Basket. Songs and art inspired by the songs. Here is the link to my bandcamp site where you can download the entire bundle in any format you like. Just look for the "download album" link. Let me know what you think! I hope today was wonderful for all of you, lovebirds and lonelies alike.

Also, credit where credit is due:

Michael Hardesty - Mixing, mastering, and general straight up killin'
Alex Crawford - Art, design, and fart-drillin'

Valentine's Eve

I'll be releasing all sorts of music and art through this blog now! It all starts on Valentine's Day. You'll be able to download a free gift basket with a couple of songs and some photos done by my friends. So sometime tomorrow, amidst the scurried, frantic love-shuffle of your holiday, take time to grab hold of your Boo, your main squeeze, your A number 1, and settle down with a drink or three and give these tracks a listen. More to come later.
