Easy Way Out

VINYL FORMAT. Virgin Forest, formerly of Castanets and currently 4/5 of Phosphorescent, have logged more miles together than some bands twice their age. So when it came time to record their first album for Partisan Records, Easy Way Out, no rehearsals were necessary. The band had lived and breathed these songs. The album is a balls-out rock record made by guys who make no bones about who they are and where they're coming from: people ill-suited for the "straight" world and often at odds with it. Guys who learned their craft in front of a live audience, not laptop-jockey rock warriors celebrating their first legal drink simultaneously on Twitter, Facebook and the bar they're actually in.
