Procession albums released to digital platforms

PRESS RELEASE: Procession albums released to digital platforms

Still
Fatherland
Living in Between

TLDR: Listen to “Ginseng” on SoundCloud.

If an AP English class started a band, it would be Procession.

In 1995, when we recorded our first album Still, we were earnest freshmen in college. Unlike our musical peers, we struggled with irony. In our hearts, artists were studious and serious, not like the brilliant wiseasses of alternative music. If your definition of a great rock band proceeded from punk and post-punk rather than art and progressive rock, we were not your idea of cool. 

But we had a spark and we captured our moment beautifully. Unlike rock archetypes at the time, we were raised in the comfortable suburbs of Maryland, attended good public schools, and got good grades. We tried our luck at a liberal arts college rather than in the big city. Our music–dramatic, ornate and sincere–expressed that perspective of the world.

Unfortunately, as a female-fronted and keyboard-driven rock band in the mid ‘90s, our career tanked. The music business seemed impenetrable. We naively assumed good bands were simply plucked from obscurity. Though we believed deeply in our art, we were too timid to promote ourselves. Eventually, we broke up.

Twenty five years later, we are older, wiser, less timid, and fresh out of fucks. Life in 2020 will do that to you.

We realized that not everyone has the opportunity to create something meaningful and share it with others. And not every artform is so easy to distribute globally through multiple digital platforms. We remain proud of our work and thank you for giving us the opportunity to share it with you.
