Annika JayneHappy Record Store Day! 🎉
For the occasion I decided to release my demo album In Moments Like These on vinyl through Elasticstage. 🥳
Back in 2023 the Lights & Lines Label from Brighton, UK, initiated the Album Writing Club. The challenge was to write and record an EP or an album within the month of May. It was also a competition: The winner would be signed to the label. I signed up and was determined to make it happen. And at the end of May I submitted an album with 10 songs on it!
Of course I didn’t have the financial resources to hire session musicians or a producer so I did everything I could myself the best of my abilities. That’s why it’s a demo album.
But why bother to release a demo album on vinyl?
For one thing, it’s tradition to release demos, unplugged recordings, live performances or even bootlegs on record store day.
The other reason is that writing and recording this album was cathartic for me. It was a lifeline after one of the most difficult times in my life. A time in which I nearly lost myself. Writing and recording this album transformed all my emotions, my grief, my anger, my sadness, into something creative and helped me reclaim my life.
I didn’t win the competition. But I gained so much more!
