Title: great older songs, finally recorded.
Product review: The songs on this EP were written during the Fever to tell tour and often tested at many of those shows. Having had a rough, early demo version of "Down Boy" for some time now, it was great to hear a polished, finalized version of it on this EP. The sound here seems to be somewhere between Fever to tell and Show Your Bones. Zinner is a throwback to what was great about indy music in the 80's and early 90's. His style is so unique and original I often wonder just how these guys are making it in the mainstream. Seems a band this good usually wouldn't last in today's constantly changing face of what's "hip". But they're doing it quite nicely and deliver the goods on this 5 song EP. Show Your Bones easily brushed off the curse of the sophomore slump, and once again, the band shows no signs of slowing down on this release either.
