Been lurking and posting here for a while, so I figured I'd share the full cover for my next album.
It's called Glimpses of a Magical Path. This one is a bit different from some of my previous stuff, leaning more introspective, yet with a positive outlook. A lot of the music was inspired by things I've listened to and albums people have recommended to me here over the time.
The album is already finished and will be released on September 25, with tapes coming out via Fiadh Productions.
Anyway, I just wanted to show you guys the cover before anyone else. I hope you like what's coming up!

Prepping an album release soon and trying to figure out what's actually effective vs. what's just noise. My project is in a pretty niche genre, so I'm curious what's worked for people outside the obvious playlist/streaming stuff, since Bandcamp discovery works so differently from Spotify.
A few things I'm curious about:
Would love to hear what's worked (or flopped) for you, especially if you're in a smaller/niche (im doing comfy/fantasy synth) scene where the usual playlist-pitching advice doesn't really apply.
P.S.: I’m trying to grow my audience because I believe in my music and want to reach more people, even without financial returns; what I’m really looking to do is share the work i believe in.
Been thinking about this a lot since my own music leans into the softer, nature/animal side of things rather than the darker dungeon roots the genre grew from
Do you see comfy synth and nature synth as their own thing, or just a mood within dungeon synth as a whole? Is it about the instrumentation, the imagery, the tempo, or something else?
Also curious, any albums or artists you'd point to as the definition of that comfy/nature sound? Would love to hear what you're all listening to.
