A thread for this wondrous EP of new Avey Tare tunes.

TRACKLIST
1. Late Introduction
2. Fast Lea
3. Spontaneous Rainy Daydream
4. Costume Jewelry

4 tracks ~10 minutes of music

song descriptions

Spoiler: show

1. A contemplative, quiet 1.5 minute intro track. Piano, vocals and SFX. Vaporous and distant, with quiet fog vocals and twinkling keys.
2. Mostly piano and vocals (+ background vocals from Superflower) until 1.2 minutes in when we get a squiggly beat, and then violia & cello which ascends into a momentary loud stack of instrumentation before stripping it back again.
3. A beautiful instrumental jazz piano song with lots of background chatter, dreamy saxophone, distorted vocals.
4. Feels like the whole thing kinda floated into this song, which is the jam. The most grounded and pop of the bunch, with a steady beat and upfront vocals. Great lyrics, great melody, great song.

Gimme dat

Since I haven't had a chance to actually listen to the EP yet, can anyone tell me if any of the "new songs" that Avey has been playing on his recent tour come from Fast Lea other than Fast Lea itself?

He's definitely been playing Fast Lea, as well as Are You Coming Back? (which isn't on the EP), but there's another "UNKNOWN" song on recent setlists that I have to wonder if it comes from this EP or if it's something entirely new.

[Tropic]

Isn't this the thing he's done with the other musician? Shining flower?

[tdegenaro]

bang me here or on discord (teegemagic) i got you guys

[Hellomark]

Enjoyable little release, wish it was longer. The title track is probably the most exciting thing here, I like it way more here than on the recent boots. I want a whole album of piano and string heavy Avey songs. Costume Jewelry is a fun little song too, I like the lyrics. Hope we get a digital release soon.

[Glints]

Honestly Fast Lea is one of the more refreshing things he's done since maybe Eucalyptus was released IMHO. Not sure why but it reminds me of Call Home/Buy Grapes and I Am Your Eagle Kisser era stuff but it doesn't sound like those at all.

[meys]

Fast Lea's strings give me big Reich "Different Trains" vibes

[slowords]

pm if possible

[moop]

THX!!!

[rohcti]

Crunchitize me cap’n?

edit: Thank you

totally agree big time, such a good track. This EP is a gem, so spontaneous and interesting. Gotta say his recent work has been either overthough or just meandering, this is excellent

[andthephantom]

I’d love to accidentally run into the ep

Edit: been had. Thanks!

Did I miss this being posted? Very sweet

[lhtd]

Got my cassette in the mail this afternoon

PM if you want a lossless version (ripped, lightly EQ'd, split, tagged). I'll preemptively PM a few of the last people in this thread with the lossless rip so that I'm not the only one immediately available with it.

Thanks for sharing, your EQ work makes it sound more like a digital copy, more full sound. I'll be interested if the original rip from preakness is how it will sound once the digital is released or if that sound is more an artifact of the medium (tape)

[lhtd]

My guess is that it's an artifact from the tape. My EQing was essentially boosting the mid-highs by a dB or so. Cassettes really attenuate those higher frequencies.

[trillstone]

Could someone please punch me in the face?

EDIT: bloody and bruised, thanks!

[Meester Fingers]

Only my second post here and I guess I'd like to be punched in the face please

Edit. My physical tape was eaten by a tape player my mother in law loaned me.

[dio]

ya I guess punch me if this is indeed the only way to hear it? Like as in I won't be able to pay for it outside of making a show (which, he isn't coming to CO rn sadly..)

edit: I'll make a point of buying something from Avey on bandcamp to compensate for this theft, but I also like always be giving him money as much as possible

[roopn]

I'm sure it will go up digitally eventually

[meys]

Can I get a punch for the new rip? Just sock the shit out of me

[scrambledgreggs]

if anyone has the Superflower side and can punch me that, would greatly appreciate it!

the release strategy for this "split" EP is so baffling to me lol

[Ajax]

Could someone please punch me

[ann_frankenstein]

A penny for a punch please!

I found the Superflower in v0 so I converted the flac and made a nice little compiled split EP, if anyone wants that

also thanks to lhtd for the super high quality rip, can't even tell it came from a cassette it sounds so crisp!
