E.P chat

I've written far fewer songs this past year than usual, due to a serious lack of proactivity, and at times, enthusiasm. I could probably count the songs I've written from this past year, on two hands only. A real decline from previous years, where even though the majority might not have been good enough, I'd be able to boast needing an army of hands to count my songs.
Its been a confusing year to say the least regarding my music.
For the past few months I have been working on a new E.P and it is very nearly finished.
Its direction is completely different from 'Tangled in wires' - my previous collection of songs.
It's dark, intense, and at times anthemic. The production is still dense with sounds, but they are new, interesting and powerful, saturated in reverbs and delays to simulate a sense of space.
So far, there are 4 tracks that are finished AND mixed, and until last week only needing to be mastered. However I have decided to write and record a new track to conclude the E.P, (I'll call this track 'Song X' for the time being). The reason being is that I needed a clear, lead track to promote the E.P, and I just can not choose from the 4 completed songs.
The E.P is going to be called "bête noire" - (A work in progress.)
The artwork is being done by a VERY talented artist called Jack Boutwood, which I'm very excited about.
The track listing is as follows:
1. Song X
2. Caged
3. Infinity
4. Fortunes
5. Origami

Hopefully this will be the new kick start RWD needs, I really hope NEED you to like it.
I'll blog about Song X as it develops.
