Matthew Darkly – Sugar Plum

I have a new Moodring’s song almost done. I’ll probably post it this week. This is the third song Matt and I have put together for this project. When we get a few more done we’ll be releasing it as an EP.
Lou Whitney and Donnie Thompson’s album “Book Of Matthew Darkly” is about halfway mixed. I hope to have it out in March. It’s coming together nicely. If you haven’t heard the song’s I leaked check them out here.

It’s 10 songs with a more dance/electronic sound. At the time this was his first project stepping away from the guitar and embracing the keyboard more. Since then he’s gone on to use keyboards in a lot of his songs.
