I love pretty much the whole thing. "Animals" perhaps being the lone weak track, altho I could see it growing on me. The last 4 songs are killer. "Celebration Song" is uplifting and has a great melody. "Written and Read" I really like the opening bass riff.
It's interesting listening to these songs, knowing that they were recorded fully-live. No tracking. They almost do sound *live* in a way. But that works really well, especially with some of the stripped-down style of writing.
Man, I can't fucking wait to hear the full-length now!
also it might be worth passing this along.
from a guy I know whose close to band
just wanna remind folks that they'll also be doing a vinyl release of this. going to do a digital release for about a month to get some dough to press the vinyls. It is a very small label after all. But the band is hoping to do a 10" and a cd copy of the album will come inside the vinyl packaging as well. There probably won't be just a cd version released unless there is extreme demand. The vinyl will probably be around $15 - $20 and they're hoping to do some colored vinyl as well.
[a few weeks later]
the band has already started writing for the next album. They have 5 mostly completed songs, and two complete songs that they wrote before the EP, but decided they would save for the album because they'd make more sense contextually and they will have a larger budget. They really wanna get strings involved heavily on a few of the songs and just needed time to arrange those types of things. Also there's a couple things they've been jamming for a while which may re-appear. They are hoping to go in to do a round of pre-production this month. Just get the tracks demo'd out. Probably won't record til late Summer or Fall, depending on how much they tour on this EP and how much they are able to write. Winter or Spring release prob depending on if they are still going through Rain City or not.
also, this EP is not just something to be glossed over. It's not one or two new songs, with a bunch of remixes. It's a solid six song EP, that flows well and has good songs. Along the lines of (Mute Math -Reset, Minus The Bear -Beer Commercials, etc)
