Harrisonburg, Virginia's Engine Down sprung forth from the ashes of Sleepytime Trio, and this seven-inch is an introduction to this intense quartet. Methodical, intricate, and beautiful guitar musings (featuring original guitarist Jeremy) lull you into submission only so you can be set up for the explosion that awaits. There is no time to waste, and Engine Down are ready to show you how to do the stop, drop, and roll when you realize this record has you on fire.

Recorded at Boombox Magnetica by Jonathan Kreinik.
