New Weave videos - new and reissued

 Several New Weave music videos have been issued via The Orchard, two brand new videos for Daniel Crommie's "A Factor of One" album - and several reissued videos from the past 15 years. Jamie Haggerty created a wonderful video for "Plastic Pop (Eat it Again)" that has been getting some play, and the latest video for "This is My Rhythm" was created by Grammy Award winner Jim Blashfield. Jim Blashfield has directed videos for such heavyweights as Michael Jackson, Joni Mitchell, Peter Gabriel, Talking Heads, Tears for Fears, Heart, Paul Simon and many others - and his brilliant video is sure to stir up some interest. Other reissued videos are for "Living in the Dark Ages", "Reverser in Neutral" and "Coconut Radio" by Daniel Crommie, "Number Factory" by Group Du Jour, "No Room to Dream" by DC Sound Collective and "Toys and Treasures" by Daniel Crommie with Leslie Gray. Watch for more videos soon. You can view these and other videos at Vimeo.

Daniel Crommie's "A Factor of One" set for release

 The first solo vocal/song album since 1995's "The Feast of Saturnalia" is set for release on Tuesday, August 1st at BandCamp on both deluxe six-panel digipak CD with one exclusive track unavailable anywhere else, as well as digital download (with a different "hidden" track), which will include all lyrics and credits in PDF form. This six-panel digipak has beautiful artwork courtesy of longtime collaborator Jamie Haggerty and features the recent digital single "Plastic Pop (Eat it Again)". Since "The Feast of Saturnalia" in 1995, Daniel has written songs for Saturnalia Trio, Group Du Jour and DC Sound Collective, but this is a unique project started in October 2022 with the challenge of coming up with 10+ new songs in the studio with no one else involved in the writing or playing - so all of the instruments were played by Daniel Crommie.

New Daniel Crommie single!

 New Weave has released a new Daniel Crommie single "Plastic Pop (eat it again)" from the forthcoming Daniel Crommie album set for release in late July "A Factor of One" at BandCamp - and the song will be available for streaming everywhere starting Tuesday, June 6th. A tongue-in-cheek homage to 80's radio synth pop, as with the coming album all of the instruments and vocals are performed by Daniel. "A Factor of One" is the first solo vocal album since "The Feast of Saturnalia" (1995), although Daniel has written vocal songs for DC Sound Collective, Group Du Jour and Saturnalia Trio since then. The cover art was created by Jamie Haggerty, who also mastered the single and the album. Listen at Soundcloud.
