Winter People have just released a track called “Gallons”, the second single from our forth-coming album. It’s one of my personal favourites on the album, lyrically and musically, but most of all as an evocation of a specific mood. You can listen to a stream of it here:
I also designed the artwork and what will become the single tour art:
The band will be doing a fair bit of travelling / playing in the next little while. We’re flying down to Adelaide next week for a show, then we’ve been given (yes given!) a house in Byron Bay to record/write/hangout for a week, then we’re doing the Secret Garden festival, then an East Coast tour off the back of the Gallons release and after that there’s a (potential) run of 10 dates as the support for a pretty cool act, whose name unfortunately I cannot commit to print until we’re confirmed.
In other design news, I’ve been getting some great feedback on DylanBaskind.com and has been featured on the design showcase websites: webcreme.com, Unmatchedstyle, Creattica, Designfridge, Web Designers Blog and a couple of other top-ten best xyz type lists. I still haven’t managed to get a site onto Styleboost, but its one of my great unsung missions in life (is that a little bit sad?).
Between freelance web-design client work, I’m currently also working on a new collaborative consumption web app revolving around car-pooling. There’s a couple starting up in the states, and a big site in the UK, but I think I can out-gun them all for usability, functionality and interface design (well, here’s hoping anyway!). Will post some design samples in the near future.
