EP #2
Each of the three EP's features a track from the band's recently released self-titled full-length (out on Kemado), along with tracks recorded at the band's Freedom School Compound, a store-front apartment/studio that the band shares with producer Matt Boyton in Brooklyn, NY.
These recordings capture the band cutting loose, writing and recording at their will, and form a perfect counterpoint to their professionally recorded full-length. This second 12" features a stripped down, raw rock n roll sound, and includes Cadillac, the band's fastest and shortest song to date. Perhaps this has something to do with the fact it was written and recorded in one hour. Right Place Wrong Time is a more sedate version of the Doctor John song, which, due to its sluggish pace, spotlights the dark quality of the lyrics. The EP closes with Wishful Thinkin', a rare instance of lead guitarist Joshua Grubb providing lead vocals and lyrics to a VietNam song. Each of these three EPs are pressed in a thousand copies a piece on 140 gram vinyl, packaged in two color hand-pulled silk-screened matching jackets, with silk screened dust jackets/labels and are all hand numbered. They perfectly compliment each other providing a multi-faceted vision of the band as they currently stand, and capturing the full spectrum of VietNam's sonic palette. Tracks mr. Goldfinger, right place, wrong time, cadillac drive, wishful thinkin'.
