The song is one of four on a newly-released split EP via Chunklet Industries that combines two new Sloan Brothers tunes with two songs by Obligatory Refractions, Simpson’s new project with Schneider, who is best known as the leader of The Apples In Stereo and co-founder of the Elephant 6 Recording Co. An initial clear vinyl pressing of the EP is now sold out and a limited red vinyl pressing has just been made available. The songs are also available on all streaming services. Simpson continues, “Robert had a chord progression and a few words. We texted those back and forth until we’d written the lyrics and I fleshed out the rest of the arrangement. Robert wanted me to sing lead on this song, but we plan to rotate that duty going forward. That’s Robert singing the harmony on this one.” +++ Sloan Brothers / Obligatory Refractions Split EP (Chunklet Industries) Out Now Streaming Link: STREAM FULL EP Track Listing: 01.
