Candy Apple Blue - Alice's Last Halloween
(Zanncraft Reggae Ska Remix)

𝑽𝒂𝒖𝒍𝒕 𝑫𝒊𝒔𝒄𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚:

Earlier this year, our friend Ric reminded us that our remix of “𝑨𝒍𝒊𝒄𝒆'𝒔 𝑳𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝑯𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒏” had only ever been available to listen to on YouTube. 👻 🎃

It’s hard to say exactly why we never officially released the Zanncraft Reggae Ska Remix of our haunted Halloween classic. But after 11 years, we’ve finally decided to make this spook-tacular offering available on all major digital music platforms!

Available now. Released on October 2nd…

“𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲’𝘀 𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻” 👻 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗨𝗥𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗘𝗗! 🎃 💀 🎶

These days, not enough bands are releasing original Halloween music, and we’ve always been proud of this spook-tacular offering. We hope you’ll enjoy this rediscovered Zanncraft Reggae Ska Remix! It's been buried for over 11 years!

Happy October and Happy Halloween! 👻 🎃 🕷️

It’s been a month since we released our fifth studio album, “𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡!” 🎉

And it truly has been a breakthrough for us in so many ways!

Firstly, this release has helped strengthen our connection with our true fans — those of you out there who genuinely care about us and the music we make. ❤️

Secondly, we’re incredibly proud to announce that, within its first month of release, “𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡!” 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥-𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐁𝐎𝐓𝐇 “𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞!” 𝐀𝐍𝐃 “𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭”! 🎉

Lastly, Hoyt and I are showing no signs of slowing down! We’ve already started working on three new songs for our forthcoming album, “𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧!”

This connection is a responsibility that we don’t take lightly. It’s invaluable to us as independent music makers!

𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐞𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞! ❤️

The Special UK Edition CD pressing of "𝐵𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑘𝑡ℎ𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑔ℎ!" is starting to roll out and make its way into the hands of fans! 💿🇬🇧

We spent a lot of time designing the artwork elements for the UK pressing, which is different from its American counterpart in many ways. It includes a revised booklet, a different layout, and features information about the bonus track, “Then There Was You”! 🎶

Special shout-out to Jim Hampton for sending in these awesome pics!

More Than You May Know

Candy Apple Blue (Carly Emerick and Hoyt Emerick)

We’ve been on the go non-stop since the release of our fifth studio album, “Breakthrough!” We essentially hit the ground running on release day and really haven’t slowed down since!

It’s been incredibly rewarding to feel all the love you guys have been showing us. Hoyt and I have been writing songs since we were 13 years old. Our father was a guitarist, and music was always a part of our lives.

After speaking personally with so many of you through inbox messages, emails, and even public comments here on social media, it’s obvious that music means the world to you, too!

We hope you know just how much it means to us to be welcomed into your world. Thank you for playing our music and allowing our songs to become a part of your lives. 🎵🎶

We cherish the connection we’ve made with you more than you may know.

❤️🙏🏻 - 🍬🍎🟦

We’ve made a tough decision, but a logical one.

Because of strong overseas interest and the high shipping and tariff costs from the U.S. to the UK and EU, we are going to offer an alternative, more affordable CD option through our UK partner, elasticStage.

So, if you live outside the USA and are interested in buying a copy of our new album on compact disc, this post is for you! We know that the high shipping and tariff costs were a dealbreaker for many of you. Now, they don’t have to be.

Please note that these UK discs will be different from the U.S. pressing. These will be CD-Rs rather than replicated Red Book–standard discs. However, they will come complete with the full artwork and a booklet, just like their American counterpart. They will also be made to order.

𝗕𝘆 𝗽𝗼𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗯𝗼𝗻𝘂𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸, 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵-𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 Project K “𝗥𝗶𝗽 𝗜𝘁 𝗨𝗽” 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘅 𝗼𝗳 “𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝘀 𝗬𝗼𝘂” 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗨𝗞 𝗖𝗗 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴!

So, in conclusion, under this current administration, which is making international trade increasingly difficult and unaffordable for ordinary citizens like us, this is the best option we can offer our overseas friends and fans.

Let us know your thoughts, and watch this space for updates!

Thank you for caring about us and the music we make!

𝗣.𝗦. We expect this product to be ready by the end of this week. I’ll just have to update some of the graphic design elements for this unique pressing.
