Some of y’all complained about the size of the cover art we had for The Ampersand EP, and well … now we’ve got the final deal. Click on the image above to see the full-size image we’ve got. This should be big enough for you to see, although it’s a JPG and has compression artifacts and all that. We’re sure that the final product will look even slicker in print, but also that the tired/grainy look is purposeful—I mean, Rhodes is still very new in the WebbCracken family, and these folks … well, they’re probably not sleepin’ much, eh?

Rumor has it that the disc is now mastered…

Coming to a CD player near you… The Ampersand EP

It looks like pre-orders will be taken starting on Valentine’s Day. The physical record will come out in March or April. You will, however, get the full digital download as soon as you pre-order. Derek and Sandra will be out playing shows together to promote once the pre-order starts. Derek told me that they consider Valentine’s Day to be the actual release date for the EP

We here at dw.net are very excited for this release and I, for one, am very glad Watch Your Mouth has found a home and am excited to see what Sandra can add to it! Stay tuned to dw.net for more updates!

Well the year is new and I wanted to give everyone an update about DW. This won’t be much new or “insider” info but more of a “what’s on tap” sort of thing.

Derek and Sandra are close to finishing the duet EP that they are releasing in February.

Derek will be working on Sandra’s new solo record in January

Starting in February Derek will be heading out on the road with Caedmon’s Call on the Overdressed tour

During this time he will also be working on his own new solo effort.

Noisetrade, which is Derek’s latest project, is set to go on line this spring as well.

Stay tunned to dw.net for updates on these projects, and more, as they become available.
