Copies of this have been fetching over £150 online so it was time for a reissue as it is one of the fans favoutites and never available outside of the UK at retail with only 1000 copies printed. 

Willy Vlautin says:

“In the early summer of 2015, The Delines were still a young band with only one record, Coflax. Amy Boone, who lived in Austin, Texas at the time, flew up to Portland for some Summer shows and to cut a single for the Fall tour. We were thinking three songs at the most. The problem was I kept bringing in new tunes and our producer, John Morgan Askew, suddenly had time open up at his Scenic Burrows

Studio. We decided to try something I’d never done before, record the songs as we were trying to figure them out. I brought in the best of the batch I was working on: Cool Your Jets, Gold Dreaming, Sirens at Night, and I’m Just a Ghost. We recorded them fast. We cut Gold Dreaming in two takes and I remember Amy singing I’m a Ghost in one and it just floored us all. Quickly our single turned into an

EP. Then Amy brought in an acoustic demo of her tune, I Wasn’t Looking, and we recorded that. I’ve always been a big fan of Sparklehorse so we tried Sunshine and then Cory brought in two instrumentals, Saloon Six and The Piano Player Always Drinks For Free. Suddenly we had a record.

The band always thinks of this one as The Delines at summer camp. We recorded it during a minor heatwave, it’s loose and a bit rawer than most of our other records, and there’s a no pressure easy goingfeel to the session that really comes across. It’s a band favorite, too, because while recording it I think we all knew we were becoming a real band.
