Hi Alex, I’m so sorry for what happened to the label. It’s sucks ass, I would say, it’s their lost really. And as an artist (except that I’m a writer, not a musician anymore) it’s very inspiring to me to see an artist like you being so fucking faithfull to yourself. When I released my first book, it sold like…200 copies, and it was crowdfunding, and I remember my mother saying to me “you should post more about your book!” and my sister going “you need to make ads for your book” and I was like…”guys they will buy if they want it to, I don’t need to convince anyone to do it lol”. That part was very annoying because, it seems like nowdays “you have to” be active on instagram, you “have to” make ads, “you have to” look cool and all that bullshit. And it’s so annoying. Sometimes I wonder if i should write a book like a “insta-poetry”, people saying the obvious but in a more poetic way….But its not really my thing, but sometimes I wonder if this is the real trojan horse.
I hope you don’t give up. Art is about just doing, because it wouldn’t happen any other way. (like that iggy pop song wild animals they do, never wonder why, just do what they goddamn do lol) . Best wishes.
