The fourth video is here and that means one thing..... the new album is going to be released very soon! Just twelve more days. I know I've said this in previous blogs, but I CAN'T WAIT for this thing to be out. It feels like an eternity ago when we started recording. Probably because it was.... we started recording a year ago. Wow, that was weird just typing it out. We were playing a show last night in Clarksville, TN and were talking to some friends in another band, Blackwater James. They are about to start their new album. They say that their's will take two months to track, mix, and master. I can't imagine doing a Manic Bloom album that quickly. But, they're are paying for their tracking time which we didn't. I suppose that was our downfall and our saving grace. It dragged things out for us, but it allowed us to spend as much time as we needed to get things sounding the way we wanted them to.

So, my video is about the song Toynbee. Weird name, I know. The title comes from a short story entitled "The Toynbee Convector." If you read the story, you'll definitely understand the meaning of the song much better. I'd suggest checking it out. It's very interesting. All that said, I hope you enjoy the video and we can't wait to get the new album out to everybody! Thanks to you guys, we can get excited about seeing our fans react to the new music. You all help keep us going more than you know.
