Loto Ball is too cool to do stuff like this, but I’m not!

2026 is the year for the first Karim Shuquem كريم album release. I have a handful songs that have accumulated over the years that hadn’t been recorded. To get started on remedying this situation, I spent 1K on recording three songs in January 2025. I’m going to record 6 more songs this year for the album. I will be creating limited edition silk-screened jackets for all 200 copies. Half of these copies will be extra-limited editions with the addition of an extra-special handmade insert -the ART pack edition.

COMING UP: I have a 3-week composition residency this Spring at Jentel Arts in Wyoming!

Originally estimated at March 2026, the album release will need to be later in the year.
