Free Stuff.....

Cold War Kids have recorded a six song EP called Mulberry Street and they're giving it away for free.

Just found out today. They're offering two songs a day between now and Friday at their website. You can go here, and scroll through their EPs. Mulberry Street should be at the bottom and you can download the first two tracks.

Track listing:

1. The Soloist in the Living Room
2. Heavy Boots
3. Quiet, Please!
4. The Wedding
5. In Harmony, In Silver
6. Don't Let Your Love Grow Away

Also, i noticed there's an acoustic EP available for free download from the site that i didn't know about called Acoustic at the District.

So, if you're a Cold War Kids fan, you should check it out. Hopefully the songs will be decent.

BUT WAIT!!! THERE'S MORE!!!

Apparently, Okkervil River has recorded an EP of cover songs which they are also releasing for free. Wow. Tis the season for giving, I suppose. It's a nine song EP which they're calling the Golden Opportunites Mixtape including one new Okkervil song and 8 cover songs recorded in various places over the past few years. You can download the album for free as a zip file from their website here.
