From Animal Style:

We’re pleased to be working with MIXTAPES once again for the release of Maps & Companions. In true fashion with Mixtapes things are always a little different, Maps & Companions features the 10 original songs from [their previously released full-length] Maps plus the newly recorded EP, Companions. Companions will include 2 brand new songs along with newly recorded full band versions of “And If We Both Fail?”, “OrangeYellow”, and “Soups Whatever”.

Ryan had this to say about the release, “Maps never came out on vinyl so it’s time it did. This will be our first 12 inch so we are really excited! Side A is Maps in it’s entirety and side B is Companions. On the reworked songs, some of them we didn’t want to be only acoustic. This record is the first time in the past year we had enough time to do everything we wanted so we made them sound how we wanted them to. I think it brought new life and a whole new feel to them so we are stoked. There’s also 2 new songs which we couldn’t be happier with. We should be making a video for I accept that the first week of December, followed by 3 if not all 4 of us eating dinner.”

Along with new artwork by Cassie Podish we’ll be issuing this beauty as a 12″ LP limited to 500 copies on 3 different colors. For those going to Fest 10 you may get a head start to pick up the record. More news on that along with ordering information soon!
