In 2008, instead of doing the by-now twice traditional yearly x-mas release that started two years ago with the "Again" covers album, followed by the success of "A Reckoning..." last year (which went on to achieve a wider release worldwide via Finetunes Digital and the physical third pressing via Kunaki), this year Neil Leyton presents "Metacognitive Apperceptions". 
Described as a New Year's, rather than X-mas, album, it opens the door to more positive thematic muses than the dark explorations on 'A Reckoning'. For now, it can be ordered exclusively via FW Music Store.
Sonically, this is a home-recorded electric release, a 10-song collection of all new material. "It deals with my leaving London and having a clear conscience over the past. If people wanna paint me the bad guy, then say goodnight to the bad guy. At the end of the day all I've ever done is try and help people be creative. O, and one more thing: I truly despise x-mas. Not just because I am an atheist, but because of the sheer capitalist pressure of it all. Holidays, true holidays, should be free times, without stresses or pressures. I am sick of society. Your society makes me sad. These days what I seek in life is peace and quiet... solitude to think about the past and learn from our mistakes. All that and a little guitar feedback here and there, of course!"
Watch for Metacognitve Apperceptions on Amie St. and LastFM in the new year. FW Music Store will ship out orders the first week of January. Happy 2009 everybody!
