New York Hospitals

In honor of After The Jump Fest on June 21st, one of the curators of the spectacular bill, Pop Tarts Suck Toasted, asked me to record an EP. I had already been working on one of these songs, and suddenly found myself with a reason to finish and record a few more. So here it is, FOR FREE.

New York Hospitals EP



Tracklist:
1. Nothing Matters When We're Dancing (Magnetic Fields cover)
2. Sylvia (An Introduction)
3. Tears Are In Your Eyes (Yo La Tengo cover)

Lyrics for "Sylvia (An Introduction)" can be found here

Liner notes:

The New York Hospitals EP came about rather unexpectedly. Two covers from New York-ish bands from around 1999 surround an original, entitled "Sylvia (An Introduction)", intended to introduce the focus of the soon to be completed Hospice LP. Sharon Van Etten contributed vocals to "Nothing Matters When We're Dancing" and "Tears Are In Your Eyes", and Michael Lerner unknowingly drummed on the same tracks (I hijacked a part he recorded for Hospice). It was recorded in Watcher's Woods in Brooklyn in 2008. The cover is the manipulation of a picture that can be found here.
