COALESCE: O.D. ON OXEP
Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009 at 1:00pm by Axl Rosenberg
Three cheers for Coalesce: they took a decade in between 0:12 Revolution in Just Listening and this year’s killer Ox, but now they’re making up for lost time.
OXEP, a new, seven-song EP which I’m guessing consists of songs that were recorded during the Ox sessions and just didn’t make the final cut for whatever reason, comes out November 10 on Relapse, but Lambgoat is streaming it right now. So if it’s another ten years ’til the band makes another full-length, at least we got an abundance of Coalesce in ‘09.
Now go give it a listen.

Not quite, Axl.
“These songs are not cuts that didn’t make ox. We wrote and recorded these songs specifically for an ep release after ox was already done and delivered to Relapse for production. We continued our americana theme and expanded them on these songs, therefore wanted them to be considered part of the 2009 ox sessions.”

Even if it was a Gary Suarez post, you ought to have read it, right? Just search Coalesce on YOUR OWN SITE if that url doesn’t work.
Definitely a little slower and moodier than OX, but still pretty cool! I’ll be picking up a copy when it comes out.
Lambgoat stream sucks, but it sounds like it could be good.
you know, i think i like this ep more than the full length.
