julioanta Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Hey everyone, my label The Native Sound just posted pre-orders for Koji's new EP titled 'Matters'. It's being pressed on cassette tape, limited to 200 copies. I really appreciated how some of you supported my John Vanderslice release – I thought you all might be interested in this one too. Pre-order here. More info: For over five years, Andrew Shikari (known to most as Koji), has toured and promoted a handful of EPs, 7-inch singles and full-length splits with the likes of Into It. Over It. and La Dispute in the most DIY way possible – on the road, performing in the basements, VFW halls and clubs of the world, armed with nothing more than an acoustic guitar and his voice. After signing to Boston’s Run For Cover Records in the fall of 2010, landing tours with artists as diverse as Never Shout Never, Code Orange Kids, and even the Vans Warped Tour, Koji released his much anticipated debut full-length album,Crooked In My Mind in April of this year. Playing alongside members of Balance And Composure, Title Fight, and the Lauryn Hill band, Crooked In My Mind proved that Koji’s brand of passionate, and socially conscious punk-informed pop-rock was ready for a larger audience. On November 12th, while touring the United Kingdom and Europe with Into It. Over It. and Slingshot Dakota, Koji will release Matters – an EP produced, engineered and mixed by Will Yip at the legendary Studio 4 in Pennsylvania during their initial 2011 demo sessions. The four songs, available as a digital download and limited edition cassette tape bring to mind the stripped-down acoustic stylings of his initial releases, whilst incorporating the striking strings and soulful intricacies that would later make their way onto his debut LP. All orders include a digital download, delivered to your inbox on release date.

Met Koji last earlier this year and he is probably one of the nicest people I've ever met. Will pick this up. We originally met three years when I booked a show for him, and he really is.

brandy Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 So these songs will be on his next LP right? It was mentioned, but I'm not sure if he's referring to the songs or the 'striking strings and soulful intricacies' that will be on the LP.

julioanta Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 Grabbed the white. Dude loves music and his fans so much. And one of the nicest dudes I have ever met. Thanks for picking up a copy! So these songs will be on his next LP right? It was mentioned, but I'm not sure if he's referring to the songs or the 'striking strings and soulful intricacies' that will be on the LP. Sorry if that was confusing, but as far as I know, they won't be on the next LP. I would definitely be surprised if they were. These songs were recorded with Will Yip in 2011, during the initial demo sessions for Crooked In My Mind. "The four songs, available as a digital download and limited edition cassette tape bring to mind the stripped-down acoustic stylings of his initial releases, whilst incorporating the striking strings and soulful intricacies that would later make their way onto his debut LP" The quote above is the full sentence you referred to above, for context.

julioanta Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 Quick update: Outside of the few remaining 2-Packs, the white tapes are sold out as of last night. There's still some green, but those and the 2-Packs are going fast. Thanks again to everyone who's supported the release so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julioanta Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 To everyone holding out on picking up a copy: We split up the remaining 2-Packs after individual copies of the tapes sold out last night. That means there's three white, and three green copies left in the store until the pressing is sold out. http://thenativesound.limitedrun.com/products/519800-koji-matters-ep-cassette-tape brandy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
