I can’t claim this as my discovery–that honor goes to my good friend across the pond.  But you need to hear this EP. Was I clear enough there?  You NEED to hear this. Get it free from their bandcamp page.

If you’ve been reading my site since it was created, you’re eleven years older now and you’ve probably mellowed out.  I know I have.  Maybe that’s why I dig the new Stylusboy EP. It’s a short collection of quite, humble tunes that are gentle, well-written, and beautifully sung.  Check it out.
