Hey everyone, it's Dan. The Real Dan. Not the Dan from the podcast.

So do you have to do that every single time you appear on the pod?

Yes.

Completely understandable. Anyway, I am Mark. I am also the real Mark.

Anyway, we'll keep this short and sweet since we already announced this a few weeks ago,

but we have a new

album coming out. It's called Generation Crossing. It is a weird science fiction concept album with

monologues by me and music by Dan. It's all about an 800-year voyage to a distant planet and the

society that forms along the way. Asteroids, religious schisms, the search for life's meaning. Generation

Crossing, it has it all. We've been working on this all year, and we're really proud of it.

And it's out now everywhere on Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp, or wherever you listen to music.

Once again, it is an album, not a podcast. But if you're a fan of Archive 81 or The Deep Fault, we think you'll

really like it. We'll have links to wherever you want to listen to it in the description of the

podcast. And as a little taste, we'll play a little bit of the album. This is from the part

where the Ship Society gets a little unravely, if that's a word. It definitely is. But yeah,

if you're excited for the album,

turn off this podcast and listen now on Spotify or Apple Music,

or, you know, buy it on band camp.

If you still need some convincing,

here's a cool, kind of freaky section of Generation Crossing.

Enjoy.
