Many people have asked us time and time again…so we finally did it—our EPs are being reissued on vinyl! The EPs (Swell and Artifical Flavors) are available for preorder through Keeled Scales, featuring new art by our wonderful friend Isaac Dell with design by Geppy :-).
This release includes a very sweet n special demo of “Anna,” which melts my heart every time I hear it. It was one of the first recordings Gep ever sent me after they asked me if I wanted to start a band, and never did I think about it being pressed on vinyl. It is quite a funny feeling to look back at the music we made when we were sixteen, particularly our first project, Swell. We drove to our friend Chris Senador’s house after school every day for a week or two, sitting in traffic on I-85 for what felt like hours. We kind of had no idea what we were doing. It was exciting. Sometimes it feels crazy that people still love these songs that we made when we were juniors in high school, but then I listen to a song like “Swell” and realize that Gep’s songwriting was so honest and locked in from the beginning. That is still one of my favorite songs to play :-).
We were fortunate enough to tour off of these EPs for a few years; it was surely the thrill of a lifetime to be freshly graduated from high school and hit the road as we did. I think I can speak for all of us when I say that we are so grateful for where these lil projects have taken us, and we are proud to have them on wax…even if we cringe a little about the past sometimes…hehe.
