As promised, De Novo Dahl have released the first EP in a series of upcoming free releases. There’s a full-length record (Tigerlion) on the horizon but the item of the moment is the Bobby Thompson Reels, Volume One – a four track EP comprised of compositions derived from found reel-to-reel tapes of the late Bobby Thompson; De Novo Dahl’s Rob Rickman, Jr’s uncle. The story and the music are well worth investing in so I suggest heading over to the bands Bandcamp page and snagging the release (again, free) right away.

Did you know Forrest Bride released an album earlier this year entitled Cats with Wings? It’s available at Grimeys, on vinyl no less. I’ve not been able to dig up much information online beyond that but the band does have a Bandcamp page where you can listen to / download “Blue Tiger.” I suggest picking up the entire album.. this one track should provide enough incentive to get to it.
