BREAKING: "Camel: The Album" Will Be Released on July 17!

    After announcing it as part of our April Fool's Day joke, Camel: The Album has an official release date, along with some more soundtracks! Here's what we have in store!

Camel: The Album Will Be Released on July 17!

    While the version of Camel: The Movie that was released on April Fool's Day was intended to be a joke, that film was only the start of our commitment to creating an entire album of songs based on the film, and that album is going to be released alongside Tale of Ulysses on July 17! The album is going to be released to both our music YouTube Channel and our website on the same day, with availability details below. Now, here is the complete track list for this album, all which were created by Dylan Johnson. Additional credits are listed within the album with each track.

Camel: The Album ($8.99)

1. Bowling for a Camel
2. Spit Take (No Streaming at Launch)
3. Desert Delusion (No Streaming at Launch)
4. And the Camel Goes... (No Streaming at Launch)
5. Camel, Camel (Camel, Camel) (No Streaming at Launch)
6. Mirage Girls (No Streaming at Launch)
7. Sand Dune Surfin' (No Streaming at Launch)
8. Desert Serenade (instrumental) (No Streaming at Launch)
9. Mono Mixes of Above Songs (Album Purchase Only)
10. Unfinished Song [Demo] (Album Purchase Only)
11. Bowling for a Camel [Demo] (Album Purchase Only)
12. Spit Take [Demo] (Album Purchase Only)

Now, if you have a burning question on your mind, we have the answer below.

Is This the Official Soundtrack for Camel: The Movie?

    To make a long story short...yes and no. This album does contain music that appears in both the final and joke versions of Camel: The Movie, but there is a slight mix here. On the one hand, the album focuses upon songs that are inspired by the film, but don't actually appear in it (Spit Take almost appeared in the final cut as the song for the end credits, but that honor is now going to Camel, Camel (Camel, Camel), which focuses more on Camel as a character). On the other hand, there are instrumentals outside of Desert Serenade that don't appear in this album but do appear in their respective cuts of the film. What happens in that regard between now and the release of Camel: The Movie will determine whether there will be another release of Camel: The Movie-related music.

But Wait! More Music is Also Coming July 17!

    To coincide with the release of this album, we're also releasing and assembling six additional soundtracks for your listening pleasure! The first two are being released for purchase, while the remaining four are only being released for streaming on our music YouTube Channel. They are:

Lead Out

    When we dedicated ourselves to composing original soundtracks back in 2012, we had no idea that our vision would lead us to publish and sell original songs! But now that we are at this point in time, this will not be the last time that we'll release original songs. Stay tuned...
