listen | family band

In anticipation of the follow-up to the coolest show I ever saw, I am so so psyched to tell you that Family Band have leaked an exclusive demo track into my pocket and on to your sweet ears. Definitely definitely skip CMJ & catch Family Band, back in the bubble this Friday (details), before they hit the road with Warpaint. It is an incomparable strangeness in there and a thing to remember always. But before you fall into all that, here is "The Deal."

I will tell you straight that it's a demo of a track on Family Band's soon-to-be-yours Cold Songs EP. Kim recorded it the night she wrote it, alone in the handmade one-room cabin she shares upstate with Jonny and whoever wants to camp on the lawn. "It's a weird version," she told me, "Super slow. Just me and the sound of the bugs. You can hear something buzzing." To my ears there is wild and reckless under the zoned out calm. Listen.
