Witness - The Ever After LP

Witness - The Everafter LP

Witness Sayed:

I Just Dropped Off The The Everafter Lp At Magneto Mastering Today In Sunny Minneapolis.I’ve Been Getting A Lot Of Messages Asking About It Lately And I Figured It Would Probably Be Best To Just Make A Post That Explains Where Everything Is At.

The Everafter Lp Is Not The Same Album As The Full Length Record I’ve Talked About From Time To Time.

It’s A Collection Of Some New, Some Unreleased And Some Rerecorded Material To Mark The End Of The “Ever” Series Of Mixtapes I’ve Been Putting Out Since 2005.

It Was Originally Intended To Be An Ep Of The New Stuff Going On My Japanese Release, But I Decided To Flesh It Out A Bit More And Eventually It Became A Bit Too Lengthy To Call An Ep.

The Rerecordings Of Older Material Are Not My Attempt At Becoming George Lucas. Japan Wanted Some Stuff From The The Ever Since Ep, But The Sound Quality Of The Originals Didn’t Really Mesh Very Well With My Newer Recordings.

I Decided To Release A Handful Of Those Rerecordings Stateside As Well, Since I Still Play Them Live And Ever Since Has Been Out Of Print For A While. Ever Been To A Show, Heard A Song You Liked, Bought The Cd And Found It Wasn’t On There? Yeah. I Hate That Too. That’s Why I Did It. It Serves As A Nice Primer For People Unfamiliar With My Music.

The Whole Thing Took Way Longer Than Expected To Finish. Mostly Because I Wanted To Gain Experience Making A Professional Studio Album Before I Began Work On The Full Length.

Unfortunately, Making A Record In A Studio Is Not As Easy As Doing It In Your Bedroom.There Was A Learning Curve.As For A Release Date? The Record Will Be Back In My Hands From Mastering Next Week.

I’ll Be Able To Make An Announcement Then.The Album Has Been Mixed Down By Joe Mabbott, A Very Talented Sound Engineer Responsible For Pretty Much All The Rhymesayers Stuff You’ve Heard Since Atmosphere’s God Loves Ugly.

Since The Source Material Varies From Year To Year, The Quality Isn’t Going To Be As Flawless As It Will For The Full Length, But This Is By Far The Best Sounding Record I’ve Released Thus Far.

So What’s Next?

I’ll Be Shifting All Of My Focus Towards My First Official Full Length Effort. You Can Expect That Sometime Next Year. I Won’t Be Wasting Time. I’ve Also Recently Finished Up An Instrumental Mixtape That Will Be Available For Free Download This Fall. More On That Very, Very Soon.

There’s A Brand New Witness Site Ready To Launch. New Merch. New Everything. Stay Tuned.
