Dawn of the Badass Snow White

At the beginning of the year I finally finished mastering the new album by Laura Theis, called 'Badass Snow White'.  Laura is one of Oxford's many poly-bandmembers: beißpony, Robot Swans and the Half Moon All Stars to name but a few.  (Well, to be fair, I think that's all her official ones, though she also collaborates with Rosie Caldecott, Ditte Elly and others.) I think I slightly surprised her a couple of years ago by grudgingly informing her that it was necessary for me to produce an album of her songs.  And then nothing happened for a year or so.  And then, at a glacial pace, we both started putting the album together.  Laura wanted it to be half snow-delicate, and half badass.  And we both feel this has been satisfactorily achieved. And now it's handed over to Laura, and she has a whole lot more work on her hands organising the release.  I imagine this while take a while, as there's a well-known saying: Cheap, Quick, Good - pick two.  Because if it's cheap and good it won't be quick; if it's quick and good it won't be cheap - and if it's cheap and quick, it won't be good.  For most musicians I know, it has to be good, and it has to be cheap... so you just have to wait a bit.  But I'm as confident as I can be that it will be worth the wait. One track has already been previewed on local radio: one of the more sparse and cynical songs, called 'Defy Cupid' (5 minutes 8 seconds in): http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03krl2d

It's not my fault if you dump her for me - now don't be stupid. Who are we to try to defy cupid?
