Julien Kasper and his band have returned to the studio. Julien says:

Zac, Jesse, and I returned to Chris Rival's Middleville Studio (our home away from home) in June to record four new tunes for what will be my next CD. The sessions went well and set a good vibe and direction for the project. I'm returning to the studio in August to do some overdubs, including my recorded debut on acoustic guitar. The plan is to do another session with Zac and Jesse and also to feature guest star rhythm section players on a few tracks to be recorded in NYC this fall. I'm aiming for an early Spring '09 release.

I've been pondering... Do a significant enough number of people purchase actual CDs for me to release this in hard copy form? As always we will labour and obsess over sound quality from recording to mastering, track order, and thematic continuity no matter what medium(s) people prefer. However, it is disheartening to have your CDs cherry picked for favourite tunes, purchased, and/or listened to as mp3s after working so hard on such things. Of course I'm grateful when people enjoy my music in any form but having listeners hear the music presented with the best sound in my intended context is certainly more rewarding. If you have a moment let me know what you think.
