David Ramirez took a little time to get back to himself, and now hes dead set on makingmusic for himselffor the sake of the music... and nothing else.I love all the records Ive made in the past. But in making them, there was always thethought in the back of my mind of where and what it could get me. I made both creativeand business decisions with a goal in mind... a goal that often never came. This time itwas all about just the joy of making it, about having fun with it.The Austin, TX-based singer-songwriterwhose decades-long career has seen six full-length studio albums, three EPs, countless collaborations, and an illustrious supergroupproject in Gloriettaspent a season of rest away from his focus on writing songs. Inthewake of the end of a long relationship, he wanted to prioritize processing his grief as ahuman, not as an artist bleeding on the page.The last thing I wanted was to write a heartbreak record. So I stopped writingaltogether, and I just waited until I saw my heart start coming back to life. I wanted thenext thing to be hopeful and sweet and beautifula testament to music and my love forit.Davids new recordAll the Not So Gentle Reminders, which comes outin the late fall, isexactly what he was waiting for. The 12-song album is an expansive succession ofdreamlike songs that tell his stories, yesbut more than anything lean into thepossibilities of the trip that music can take us on.Ive been a songwriter for a long time. I love words and stories. But this was aboutmusic. I wanted the long musical intros and outros[as onDirty Martini, Twin SizedBeds, A Bigger World, and Dreams Come True]to contribute to the stories and be apart of them.Sale Dates and Times:
