The Impossible Music Project Becomes Reality - Sean Wright's Album-A-Month. 144 songs. In 12 Months.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release)Apr 12, 2007 – Sean Wright has embarked upon the seemingly impossible. He is releasing an album a month from the end of April 2007 for an entire year. Crazy? Well, perhaps, but Sean Wright has over 30 years of song-writing nail all over the studio wall, and a heck of a lot of recorded songs to share. Think: Gary Jules meets Cary Brothers meets Bob Dylan meets John Lennon meets Jeff Buckley, and you get part of the sound picture. Add a pop-rock dose of The Killers, White Stripes, and Snow Patrol and you get the rest.

UK's Wright began planning the project by embarking on a decidedly outside-the-box strategy—rather than pursue the typical method of writing, recording and marketing an album, he decided to spend the past 3 years recording over 120 songs. Now he's releasing the fruits of his labours each month in the form of CD albums and downloads. The year-long series is available by mail order from the independent crows-wing.com website, as well as CD Baby, iTunes, Rhapsody, BuyMusic, Emusic, Napster, AOL's MusicNet, MusicMatch, and so on.

Each Sean Wright album contains 12 tracks - that's 12x12. 144 tracks in a year. The first album called TIDALWAVE is released 30 April 2007, and subsequent releases will come thick and fast at the end of each month.

“It sounds crazy, doesn’t it?” Wright said. “While putting out an album every month is an awful idea if you try to release and promote records the old-fashioned way -- coordinating and organising retail distribution, publicity, and radio promotion behind something that lands everywhere all at once – it certainly gives people something to talk about. I haven't had to spend time or effort promoting the songs. I've spent all my time writing and recording, and the way I’ve structured the releases alone has made people notice. An album-a-month has a nice ring to it, doesn‘t it? That and the fact that I give away an mp3 every month on myspace.”

Last year, New York's Bishop Allen released an EP-a-Month for a year and caused something of a marketing coup for the independent music scene. Sean Wright applauds their remarkable achievement, but points out that he is taking the Bishop Allen concept further than any artist in the history of popular music.

Wright is a singer/songwriter who first made his name at Peer-Southern Music publishing house, Denmark St, London, co-writing songs with Hollywood hitmaker, Kim Fowley. He released his debut 45 single "Strange Situation" in 1978 to critical acclaim in the UK press. The NME said, "Wright is an enigmatic purveyor of powerful pop." Wright's 1980s band, International Heroes, is credited in the Encyclopaedia of British Heavy Metal as forerunner of the Powerpop movement. He co-managed the hugely-popular all-girl Swedish band, Ice Age, voted Best Female Group in the World 1989/1990 by Kerrang! magazine readers. He co-produced and directed their MTV video "Instant Justice" and co-ordinated their sell-out European tour, in which the band sold out London's Marquee Club, The Hippodrome, and the Astoria.

He's a three time British Fantasy Award finalist for excellence in fantasy/horror/sci-fi writing. His song lyrics explore the ups and downs of life, heartache and joy, and his own unique take on human relationships.
