7" translucent blue mono vinyl EP including 4 songs form the album. Comes with a digital download of the full album as well. These records were cut on a mono lathe cutting machine from the 1940s, originally designed for the radio. They are recorded in mono at a lower volume than pressed records. Aaron Jennings at Listening Hat Records spends a lot of time getting these to sound as good as possible, and to my ears they sound great. But don't expect them to match the sound quality of the best 180 gram vinyl in your collection.

lyrics
There’ll be a fire on the beach
Some chairs set in a circle
Some wine and some blankets
Waiting there in the sand
Where we'll take turns telling stories
About the life of our father
And the woman that he loved
Then we'll burn a dead dog
On the beach to help us remember him
As the sun goes down unnoticed
All the colors fade
And the ground grows cold
And hard as clay
Like our father in his day
When the simulation ends
And we go back to where we’ve always been
Where there are no barking dogs
We'll have to live with what we've done
Like our father's father's father and their sons
We'll cry until we laugh
‘Cause there’s no turning back
From such a wicked tradition
We burn a dead dog
On the beach as we try to remember him
As the moon comes up unnoticed
All the colors fade
And the ground grows cold
And hard as clay
Like our father in his grave
We burn a dead dog
On the beach as we try to remember when
All the fun went way unnoticed
And the sea's not swell
And the tide abhors the moon
And the days grow old
And leave us too
Like the father that we knew

The arrangements are complex and engaging, almost every song has a bridge that pulls you sideways in the best way, the lyrics are often simultaneously emotional and hilarious, and the strings, my God! John Brownell
MikeTV is always at the top of his game releasing music of insane quality AND quantity. This album is more Get Set Go greatness with catchy melodies and smart and sometimes crazy lyrics. UmbraeSoulsbane
What a trip this EP is. The arrangements here are off the wall. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the different elements and layers that were added to each song.
At the top of the EP, the tone of the guitars made me stop what I was doing and appreciate the sound. I felt enveloped by warmth. That transition in the middle of Kellyanne felt like something straight out of the Beatles. Wonderful. I think the somewhat melancholic ending was a brilliant call. Fantastic time, can't wait for more. bradkallhoff
