Now I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t heard a much rougher, tougher version of this song from a loooooooong way back. There were a few vocal neuroses but the raw essence of the thing was there. The band have reconstructed it over a stretch of months and it’s now a clean, refined ore from the rough piece of coal that once lived on the band’s bandcamp. It’s no diamond but I don’t think this is outfit works within the precious stone industry. Maybe Tiger’s Eye could be the closest they get, man those are some cool stones. Again though, not exactly precious. Anywho, in the time since that older demo went live, they’ve knocked together a proper EP, re-recorded LOVE, covered ILOVEMAKONNEN’s Club Going Up On A Tuesday and then convinced the Fader to premiere the thing. Although I don’t put much stock in premieres, a cosign from the Fader should be good enough for you and your notoriously low standards. Here’s both LOVE and the cover below.

My bud buds and semi-profession relaters over at Pilerats are releasing this HAMJAM record and sent me this track for my listening. Transparency. I’m writing about it because I dig it, not because we’re fellas.
