When A.C. Newman's son was getting into the manga (or is it anime?) called 'Demon Slayer', he started writing a new song. It’s out now exclusively on his Substack and has the same name, "Demon Slayer". It is the real beginning of a new solo record he wants to make. Read more about it and listen here: acnewmanmusic.substack.com/

Carl is trying to post a different song on his Substack every week, whether it’s a cover or an obscurity or something new, and so far so good. He's using it as a place to keep a running diary of the music he's been working on. This includes New Ps band material.

Here's a note from Carl about the process:

"It is rewarding to make yourself work every day on music, make yourself cobble a song into a working mix once a week. It’s been good for the mind and soul. I want to keep building this Substack to the point where it begins to tell a story, where you can see the links from one month to the next, where the music is going. I’m looking forward to running out of ideas, but I feel like that is far in the distance. Not a humble brag, I just have a lot of unfinished business. Been doing this a long time. Starting to write a song, leaving it for later, forgetting about it. They build up like unread emails. Yes, some of it is junk mail that I send to myself, though there is also a school of thought that God don’t make junk."
