I Can't Get You Off -- Disc 4, Extended Play

In ever-so-proper fashion, The Hit and Miss Engines release their highly-anticipated debut with a staggeringly damn good looking 4 CD Box Set featuring a new full length, three brand new EP's and 4 personally chosen photos from each member of the band, which, much like in that Tech Ep post, almost all have new releases out in the past two weeks; Mike Miller, Emmy Volkar and Dan Oatman. It's an impressive release, when the My Idea of Fun Store opens up (soon) I'd suggest getting your hands on one before they run out, I mean, they're selling this whole thing for only 10 bucks and it sounds fantastic. What else would you expect, some seriously seasoned songwriters at the height of whats happening right now and in their most endearing form. Terrific.

Red Benches is a project that was started back in '08 by The Hit and Miss Engines' Emmy Volkar. It features 17 tracks spanning the past 4 years and comes in a beautifully hand-made and personally designed package. The record really captures that disconnected and isolated vibe that was talked about last week on 101.
