Anonymous asked: Two sandwiches sit in front of you. Meatball to your left, and Steak&Cheese to your right. Which one do you eat.

Best question ever.

I’m elated to announce that we’ve signed with Serpents and Snakes. Details on everything coming soon, but for now here’s a few things we’re getting ready for. Broad strokes, padawan.
Firstly, we’ll be releasing a newly recorded version of ‘The House We Grew Up In’ alongside a video shot by our buds at Lunch & Recess. When that happens, you, your grandmother, and your iPad savvy toddler can all download it for free.
Then this summer we’ll be re-releasing Gutter Gaunt Gangster through S & S and touring up the east coast with our pals Kingston Springs. Dates and Venues will be announced shortly.
Lastly, isn’t our new website ravishing?
Hope this finds you handsome folk well,

Everything we do is for Levon. May you blow across the meadow like a whippoorwill.

Over the years I’ve accumulated a handful of songs that I just can’t use on mixtapes. Sometimes it’s a terribly recorded version of a song that’s so good I just don’t care, but I’m not sure if they’ll feel the same. Sometimes it’s a 20th century pop canon that’s so mainline it feels too obvious. Whether they’re too weird, too sad, too hokey, too suggestive, or just too uncool to not dent your pride, they never make the final cut. So after years of holding back, fuck it.
