In the future, the second Very Us Artists album will have been graced with the artwork of the absurdly multitalented Michael John Keegan. At this point, we have only the slightest notion of what it may look like, but in the future we’ll know that it was awesome.

In less than two very busy weeks, Nascence and Child will “drop,” as the kids say. And the official artist list is out.  Check it right here.  Among the musicians can be found a girl who played “Walk This Way” for DMC, singers who toured extensively with Blackmore’s Night, a man whose son demands to be addressed as “Spiderman” (while in costume, anyway), a pair of mysterious Nordics who we suspect to be cyborgs, a composer as comfortable with hip-hop as Dvořák (and ain’t afraid to mix ‘em up!), a one-woman orchestra for an Anglo-American pantomime company, an amateur plate-spinner (considering going pro), and an honest-to-goodness Brit!  Yes, this is going to be an interesting album.

The first official Very Us Artists album will be graced with the artwork of fantasy artist and photographer A. L. Ashbaugh. If you check out some of her past work, you’ll see just why.
