CLICK HERE to RSVP to our SUPER EXCLUSIVE CMJ PARTY! It's going to be so sick nasty! We've got Deerhunter, the Dear Hunter, and the Dears DJing, along with Wolf Parade, Wolf Eyes, and Wolfmother playing live sets. The show is in Times Square, aka the new Staten Island. Seriously if you miss this, you are not cool.
When Louie Glaser (Thank You Music) sent me these songs, I said "Hey you know, it looks like you've got a little avian theme going here." He just shrugged at me and claimed it was a coincidence but I don't buy that for a second. Otter King Of The Animals is a shockingly fully formed seven song EP that floored me enough that I needed put it out here. Even if one single person listens to it, it'll be worth it because these songs were burning a fucking hole in Louie's hard drive and that strikes me as incredibly unfair. Why should we be listening to the nth Phoenix remix of the week? Who gives a shit about a(nother) mediocre Built To Spill album? This is the real shit right here! You all may not realize it today, tomorrow, or the day after, but in accordance with Cooling Pie Records' strict policy of only putting out awesome shit, we've got a bonified hit on our hands (and in our minds). Either way Louie, don't tell me you didn't sit and sequence this sometime deep in the night, fantasizing about how the tracks fit together. If you didn't, well, I don't even know what to think. You probably need a better label to put your shit out... but this will do for now.
