Out of the blue, they bring it to you
Tell me what you always tell me
No one else tells me something new
Out of the blue, I left the afternoon
On the table by the morning
Left the door wide open too
Out of the blue, now turns to later soon
But now could last a long time
With a smile to hold on to
With a word to hold on to
With a world to hold on to
Out of the blue
‘A Little Bit at a Time’ is a celebration of our artists and a collage of what Spacebomb has become since its inception in 2011. It’s a time capsule in which artists from across Spacebomb’s label, management, publishing, and production divisions are all featured. And it’s a phrase that Spacebomb founder Matthew E. White has kept, written on a notecard in orange marker, at the center of his workplace and studio since before he ever had a real workplace or studio. “It’s a reminder to always invest in the long game,” White says. “Nothing happens at once, things are a result of many, many tiny decisions that build on each other to break down walls or open doors. I try to live and work with that in mind, but I think, especially in the music business where immediacy is so highly valued, it is extra important to continue to remind myself to not sacrifice immediacy for quality.”
It is natural, and has been the case, that Spacebomb is often covered exclusively as a record label. But since the beginning, Spacebomb has offered support to artists in a diverse range of ways. “We are, of course, a label, and are proud of that work,” White says. “But we also work with artists as a publisher, as management partners, as a production destination, and as a studio. It is our intention in this compilation to highlight all of those relationships, as that is a much more holistic way to take this family portrait.”
All proceeds from Bandcamp sales of the album and tracks will be passed along to the artists.

Father John Misty is so good to listen to when I want to relax. My cat used to seem to like the music too, and we would both chill and listen to the FJM vinyls I own. This album on bandcamp was a nice FJM treat. Michelle May
