Every Season Passes

After a reasonable amount of thought, I'm going with "Every Season Passes" as a title for my third album.

Like the other two, it's a phrase lifted from one of the songs ("Catch the Moon", based on a N. K. Jemisin book) and also has a little in-joke humour related to the ten years I've been "working" on it. Since seven of the other thirteen songs explicitly relate to change of some kind, it seems appropriate from that point of view too.

I don't imagine that an image to represent seasonal change should be too hard to find or create.

(So, I guess my previous acronyms of RotS and MUA will be joined by...ESP?)

Timing

There are a lot of incoming tracks (20?) that I should have in hand a little over a week from now. They are for extra instruments and backing/harmony vocals. After that, it's a process of seeing which fit with what I have now, and what I think the songs should sound like when released...then doing actual mixes. The mixing will have a few iterations that include listening on different systems and fine tuning.

Having it available by FKO will be easy, barring any substantial drama. Completion before February would be good, because FAWM will otherwise overwrite my album focus. Finishing by late December is perhaps possible and also funny, as in, "Here's my holiday album, which contains absolutely NO holiday-themed songs".
