This is the companion EP to the band's first full-length, "Alphabet Graveyard" (street June 3), and the follow-up to their well received self-released debut EP "The Rules Were Handed Down". "Matches" retains the emotive melodies and tasteful arrangements that have been the most endearing components in the band's sound, but marriages of big rock drums and lurching organs to start-stop rhythms and jangly Motown guitars underpin a diverse new direction.

Frightened Rabbit  The Midnight Organ Fight, The National  A Skin, A Night + The Virginia EP, Animal Collective  Water Curses EP

Their full-length debut retains the tender and emotive melodies and impeccably tasteful arrangements that have always been the most endearing components of the band's sound, but new explorations of everything from reggae-infused rhythms to jangly Motown guitar flourishes find a home here. Solemn folk ballads, epic mood pieces, and infectiously danceable pop find themselves on common ground.
