New Minus the Bear EP



As if Minus the Bear haven't put out enough EPs already, they just released another yesterday. Acoustics is a 7 song EP which features 6 of their songs done acousticly, and one brand new song. It's only available as a digital release unless you catch them on their current tour, which is the only place where you can pick up a phsyical coopy. Here's the track listing:
1. Guns & Ammo (new song)
2. We Are Not a Football Team (from Highly Refined Pirates)
3. Burying Luck (from Planet of Ice)
4. Knights (from Planet of Ice)
5. Pachuca Sunrise (from Menos El Oso)
6. Throwin’ Shapes (from Planet of Ice)
7. Ice Monster (from Planet of Ice)
I personally was hoping for more from Highly Refined Pirates. The new track, Guns & Ammo makes up for it though. The guitar work in it lives up to typical Minus the Bear songs. Song after song, it's the guitar parts and how they complement each other so well that hooks me at first. This entire song though just really does it for me. It's delicate and mellow. It's not as layered as their electric songs, but it still comes off that way. Well, enough of me blabbering on and on about it, have a listen for yourself to see how you feel about it.
