Gorilla vs. Bear broke the news late this afternoon that the self-titled EP from All Saints Day has become available for stream via their bandcamp page — weird that I didn’t see this when I was surfing the site earlier today. Que sera, sera. For those who don’t know, All Saints Day is Kickball Katy from the Vivian Girls (pictured above) and Gregg Foreman from Cat Power (at the keyboard on this photo). A bit more dreamy than anything Katy’s done and a bit more fuzzy than what Gregg’s used to working with alongside Ms. Chan Marshall, the duo falls into the niche of slow-tempo bedroom-noise quite nicely. The metallic-sounding endings at the end of some phrasings due to heavy feedback get to be a bit much at times, but all-in-all All Saints Day’s debut is a pleasant enough listen.
You can check out the opener “It’ll Come Around” below and if you dig it, hit up the stream here. No word yet from the group’s label, the Vivian Girls’ run Wild World Records, on the physical release date.
