Over at yk Records today we released two new singles from Jasmin Kaset. She introduced these songs to me back in 2019 with a plan to release them in early 2020 but a little pandemic got in the way and they've been on hold ever since. But no more!
The tracks - "Have You Met Me Yet?" and "I Will Never Let You Go From Me" - were both staples of her live set at the time of recording. Even though it's been awhile since they've been heard live, they hold up wonderfully. I'm very biased of course but I love them both.
The Nashville Scene premiered the official video for "Have You Met Me Yet?" and you can watch it on their site or over on YouTube. It's like a fun, lo-fi, horror movie and it's perfect for October.
One of the reasons for the delay was that I could never get the artwork for the release to a place that I was happy with. Jasmin had sent me these amazing images from Bill Reynolds that paid homage to late 80's tech magazines from Yugoslovia (specifically Računari) and all my attempts felt insufficient. Fortunately, I was able to get Version Industries to put something together and the results are fantastic.
I also really wanted to treat this release as something special because it had been waiting to be released for so long. So, I had a handful of copies pressed up to lathe cut 7" vinyl. We made 20 copies and they sold out instantly. Maybe I'll make more?
That's a lot of writing about 2 new songs but these have been on my brain for almost two years. It feels great to get them out into the world and even better to see that everyone is loving them. As they should.
It's exclusive to Bandcamp until October 22nd when it hits streaming services. This was done intentionally to create a window to urge folks to buy the music. I know MP3s are passé but Jasmin certainly deserves the support.
TLDR: two new songs. Enjoy.
