Background

Released in December 2011 by Limited Appeal Records, Stories was recorded and mixed by Tim Shea in January 2011 in Boston, MA. Dean Styers was in charge of photography and provided the album's cover art. The original pressing was a small, numbered edition of 117 copies, and contained merely three tracks, the vinyl for which was cut by Bob Weston at CMS. The EP was re-released in a CD version which included three further tracks, all instrumental versions of the songs contained in the vinyl pressing. The vinyl release of the EP is single-sided, the B-side containing stencilled artwork by Dean Styers,[1] who has in the past provided artwork for The Jesus Lizard, Aerosmith, and others.[2]

Critical reception

The Phoenix described Stories as "a gorgeous new EP of arid, sprawling, electric guitar-based rock."[3]
