Andrew Hussie: (MSPA news post, excerpt)

Another New Year's Eve gone by, another ball dropped.

Here is Mark Hadley's single, Song of Skaia. It's good! Hadley is responsible for such HS songs as Harlequin and Blackest heart.

You might have noticed I've scaled back the frequency of music releases somewhat. It was becoming sort of intense getting one or more albums ready for release every month. It also did start to feel like maybe just a little bit too much music coming at you all the time. I'd like to make sure the novelty of these doesn't deteriorate too quickly. Hence a single release seemed like a nice way to mix it up for now. I would expect albums to come out closer to every two months from now on.

On that note, I'll make an announcement about plans for the next album shortly. Preemptive tl;dr - it will be a contest. Details soon.

In the Homestuck Tarot Cards (by For Fans By Fans), the card "Wheel of Fortune" features the artwork used for Song of Skaia. Besides being a taller cut, it includes John where the album logo would be. (Thanks to mediokrek on r/homestuck for scanning the cards!)
