The Soft Stories- No One Shakes at the Tree & more

2009-10-02T08:57:00.000-07:00

Nic, Jeremy, and I have been recording. "No One Shakes at the Tree," "The Toe Touch," and "Strange Singing" are the first ones finished. They're available for download here.We hope you like them. The last thing we'd want to do is embarrass ourselves.

There are more on the way, along with artwork, etc.

Huggie-wuggies,
Sloan

Animal Head Radio Magic

I've been using my time lately to do a multitude of productive activities, such as recording an a cappella version of Radiohead's Idioteque. Sloan needs to come back from DC and save me from myself. -Nic

Time Wash! EP by Sloan

2009-07-21T15:32:00.000-07:00

As I revisited these songs in order to compile this EP, I felt as though I were listening to them with virgin ears. Time has driven a wedge between me and all me's past, rendering me able to objectively critique these same works which I once considered no less than the vomit of my soul, works which I recorded with only as much ease as one would sever their own limbs.

My legs, my arms: for you. Feast, dear children:

1. My Love Is Your Grave (2008)
Your music is my shit.
2. Ass Like Molasses (2007)
Shit like shit.
3. Love Instant Overdrive (2007)
Shit instant diarrhea.
4. A Matter of Course (2006)
A matter of shit.
5. Sourkraut (2006)
Learn to spell.
6. Living Under Sea (2005)
Brilliant.
7. No Inspiration (2008)
I believe it.

"Just kidding, I actually think very highly of myself." -Mitchell A. Mathers.

Suicide Dragons- Awesome Death

2009-07-17T22:04:00.000-07:00

We've been milking Awesome Death for over two years now. We've no shame.
This was recorded in 2007, when Nic and I lived in San Francisco. Dark times. Strange how that manifested into this. We had returned to adolescence (albeit drunk this time). Richard Youngs recorded the Sapphie EP when his dog died; we recorded this when our dreams died.
