here's a tune called "Disappearing Ink"


see? now this is what i want in my rock music. EP releases are my favorite, get in there and do the job and get out real quick. maybe i will only start posting EPs from now on... anyway, i just got back from a quick trip to the Dominican Republic and this EP was pretty much on repeat as i sipped my silly colored drinks by the pool/ocean.

i wasn't too big on Deerhunter initially. i actually saw them twice early on when the first record started making waves everywhere, once on a trip to New York at Bowery Ballroom and another time here in Chicago. never was that impressed with them live and ditto on the first couple records... no big whoop. but this EP and the last record, Microcastle, have really turned things around. they are definitely getting better with each new release.

i'll bet i go back and listen to the first few records now and probably love them. it's a fickle and fleeting thing being a rock fan these days.

also, want to point out that this EP will not only be released on CD and vinyl, but cassette as well. i'm all over that. dig it, brothers and sisters... and then go buy it.

see if it fits
