about

This is an EP we released as a prelude to An Unwelcome Guest; we gave out a BUNCH of these for free after performing at Soundset 2009. It includes an early version of "Dragons" and a remix to "One of These Mornings." My favorite track is definitely "The Hero," though, which might be one of the best songs I've written.

Intelligent insightful wordplay and super dope beats - what's not to like! Also the bonus of some LP remixes from the cloudstepper himself and it's a no brainer. oldmanvegas
