How Artists Keep Momentum Between Releases

Martin and Billy discuss how artists keep momentum between releases, from regular single campaigns to the longer process of building a full album.The episode starts with two very different projects recently completed through Apollo Audio: Dan Thomas’ layered album release, developed over many months, and Bag O' Bones recording an entire album live in a single day. They also talk about BODY’s release strategy, why simply putting music “out into the ether” is rarely enough, and how independent bands can use regular releases to stay visible.Later in the episode they listen to the new Foo Fighters album and discuss whether a record can be full of good songs without having one obvious standout single.Topics include: • Release strategy for independent artists • Keeping momentum between songs • Live recording vs layered production • Vinyl releases and album presentation • Working with musical heroes • Foo Fighters after Taylor Hawkins • Deep cuts vs hit singles • What makes a song feel like a singleThe Apollo Audio Podcast is hosted by record producer Martin Lumsden and musician and studio owner Billy Hills and is recorded at Apollo Audio Hertford.Each episode offers insight into songs, records, and the creative process, drawn from real-world experience in studios and making music.Also available to watch on YouTube and Spotify📍 www.apollo-audio.co.uk📷 Instagram: @apolloaudiopodcast📧 [email protected] Froody Music Production.
