It's a collaboration between Chino and Shaun Lopez and it's pretty damn awesome.

Whoa, this came out of nowhere.

Indeed.

I've been listening to the EP on repeat.

It reminds me of Team Sleep, but so much better.

Chino said they have about 16 songs recorded. They better release some more asap.

No problem!

Yep, more thanks. I will have to hear the drummer before I say it's better than Team Sleep....

Yeah, I'm liking it so far, but I'm nowhere near ready to call it better than Team Sleep. Zach Hill brought a lot to the table.

Anyone got a link to the higher quality version?

Team Sleep was better but this isn't a major LP release either so I'll reserve my judgement.

Team Sleep was/is loads better.

Although props to Chino for allowing me to enjoy a genre (witch house) I otherwise despise.

On a side note, just reread the Pitchfork review of Team Sleep's S/T and this quote made me laugh:

It's the kind of music for which Windows Media Player visualizations were made

How was the rest of the review? I would hate to taint my computer with Pitchfork.

P4K gave it a 6.1, and basically accuses the album of being all jams and atmosphere while lacking real substance. Refers to Blvd Nights as "Blvd Knights" for no discernable reason. Also:

Unfortunately, while none of the guests are phoning it in (the visible ones, anyway), they never learn much from each other. Even though he's sharing time with Moreno on "Our Ride to the Rectory", Crow's parts could just as easily be cut'n'pasted from one of his own songs. "Elizabeth" is similarly stuck in Pinback mode

so basically the reviewer is accusing the guests of sounding like they're supposed to? Dumb.

Pitchfork is balls.

But this is good, I dig it.

I still like Team Sleep better, though.

Pitchfork is, and always has been, one big fucking joke.
