The Simple Science EP is our first new recording in 6 years!!!! The 4 song EP is going to come out in April on limited, numbered and several different colors of 12″ vinyl as well as a CD that we are releasing ourselves. It will be available exclusively for download with iTunes. We’ll keep you in the loop once we set a release date.

- One of the new songs is likely to be “Your Petty Pretty Things” which debuted on the band’s Daytrotter sessions from late October 2009.
