Songs That Got Us Laid Vol. 1
Thursday, January 21, 2010 at 2:53PM
So after last week's Dub collection, we decided to dig deep for our next online release, and bust out a whole shitload of old, new, and heretofore unreleased softies, acoostics, love songs, ballads, sagas, psalms, hymms, madrigals, strains, and even a sweet-ass instrumental in 7/8 time. And so, we sweetly and soothingly give you, Songs That Got Us Laid, Vol. 1, a collection of various versions of songs that, througout the years, have often gotten some of the best responses of anything we've preformed or recorded, while achingly playing second fiddle in setlists and albums to louder, more obnoxious stuff that we happened to like playing more.
The first 4 songs are new, or, in other words, written in the last 5 years:). There's a couple from John, and one each from Rob and myself. The following 5 tracks, starting with Blanton's beautiful string version of "Traveler's Song", are various mixes, remixes, and demo versions of more familiar material. "The Under Over", "Where's Crosby" and "Why Can't We Just Be Enemies?" are all live acoustic versions, and the album concludes with some golden oldies, including unreleased takes on "Butternuts", and a "McGuirk's" with alternate ending.
We should mention that besides John, Rob, Lucas, and myself, there are several incredible musicians who are playing on some of these tracks, namely, Hannah Hens-Piazza on fiddle on "Butternuts," and Mark Wise on guitar for several of the tracks (not to mention, "The Count" and "McGuirks" were produced in his apartment in Brooklyn in 2005). There's also an undetermined keyboard player on "Underground," although signs point to that being WBT archivist John Dennison.
