Our prog rock web single BUILDING has made it to popular music site, eMusic:

This marks the first of our catalog to make it onto this site. Hopefully we can work through the details with our distributor and get everything else up there as well.

More full-length song previews
In a recent blog, we talked about a few places to hear full-length cuts of Gravity Tree music (instead of 30 second samples like many places).
We neglected to mention a site that not only lets you hear all the music at full length, but lets you grab it at what has to be some of the lowest prices on the web (try 69 cents per MP3!).
It's Boost Independent Music:
http://www.boostindependentmusic.com/artist/GravityTree
We've mentioned this site before, but perhaps overlooked the full-length preview feature, which is pretty cool. You can find our latest song, "Building", there - as well as many others, and songs from our catalog are added every couple of weeks or so. Check it out.
We recently posted a remastered version of "Falling in 3s" on a few sites like Boost and ReverbNation. The song originally appeared on our album "Life or Dessert?", but we think this version is a noticeable improvement in fidelity.
Finally, we're getting dangerously close to completing what will become the next new download. We'll post news as soon as it's available!

Hear the whole song: Building
How do you shop for new music? It used to be you could hear something on the radio (even progressive rock!), go to a store and get it.
But radio isn't what it used to be, and if your tastes - like ours - run way outside the mainstream, good luck finding one radio station with one show with your favorite genre. So people like us have all gone to the web and to apps like iTunes to find strange, experimentally new music. Sound about right to you?
Here's one problem: so many places just want to give you a 30 second clip (understandable given all the piracy, but a little frustrating when trying to figure out what the song is really like). Depending on where the store edits the song for the clip, that might not include the verse or the chorus or the main theme of the piece.
When we're able to control what clips get put up, Gravity Tree tries to feature the 'best' or most important part of the song. But we know a lot of you just want to hear the whole thing, for free, just like radio (well sort of).
You can now go to the Gravity Tree page on MySpace and ReverbNation to hear the full-length version of our latest song, "Building".
There are several helpful links to get you over the stores that carry "Building" on these pages, should you decide to own it for yourself (hint, hint), stick it on your iPod, or whatever you do with your downloads (?). Hopefully you'll like what you hear. We're working on making it available for listening on Facebook soon as well.
We're also working on something even better than just listening to the songs on these sites...but that news will have to wait ;-)
Coming soon: more news about new music and T-Shirts.

Download our Building
CDBaby is now carrying our latest song, BUILDING. It's offered as a standard MP3 that you can play on pretty much any player - no DRM!
Here's the link to BUILDING at CDBaby.com:
http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/GravityTree1
...an alternate link is:
http://bit.ly/buildingsong
CDBaby has just started allowing artists to sell 'singles' as downloads - without having to post an entire EP or album to do it. So we got right to work to get it up there for you.
Here's the song description from the site:
"With a slice of introspective '80's vibe, analog synthesizers embrace dissonant chords and low bass, guitars crash in reverse, drums crack, the vocalist cries...the soloist saws against the bricks, stacked high on the downbeat."
What do you think? BUILDING, out now, at CDBaby.
Thanks for listening!
http://www.gravitytree.com
btw - If you already have Building - thanks for supporting our music, and please pass the new links around to friends who might like our song!

No News, Good News?
Is no news good news?
That is how we sometimes feel while checking out local broadcast news (often filled with death and destruction). No thanks.
In our case, we have little to report this week. Two songs out of the five have made some small progress - less than we'd like. These 2 are 95% written and all the delays are in the musical arrangements, and the recording process.
Meanwhile Alan worked on some tech stuff in the studio, while trying to improve his drum sound (there's always room for improvement in just about any endeavor). And we got some UPC data worked out (because we don't do it much and so forget) for the next releases. And if we lost you on the last point, then you know how we felt doing it ;-)
And that's it; the week flew by...
