Potion

Today is the first day of September and it’s also the first release day of September, as The New Hippies drop “Potion”. It’s a funky jam about getting lost in love. I quite like it, and I hope you do too. It’s another one of Zane’s instrumentals that sat for years because we got so busy with the tv show, but we came back around to it and I’m happy it’s out in the world. It has one of my more favorite verses from Understanding too.

We still have a lot more music to release this year, and in the interest of transparency, our reach is decreasing with each song that comes out. I’m more than a little concerned about that, but considering we’re already thinking about how we’re going to adjust for 2024, which includes a pretty big reorganization, I’m hesitant to spend extra money to push these songs in the meantime. I like to look at it like planting seeds. I can’t predict how they’ll grow or if one of them will blossom into a fruitful tree, but I’m doing what’s in my control by keeping to. my schedule, and I’m proving our ability to follow through on a plan that we set for ourselves at the beginning of the year. I’m hoping it proves to be better to have stayed in the practice than to retreat mid-journey.

Hope you have a nice Friday, and dance a little bit to our new song.
