Yes, „Fall Be Kind“ wird fünf Tracks featuren:
Dave The first song is called „Graze“, and it’s one we’ve been playing live since we started playing the Merriweather stuff. It was in our original 2007 set of those songs. We definitely started recording it then. The last song on the EP is called „I Think I Can“. They’re just two songs that we wanted to take a little more time on. We usually have two passes on the songs when we’re recording them. We’ll go into a studio and record everything that we do live, basically, and do rough mixes. And then there’s ideas that we take into the studio that we know we’re going to do with the songs, and we’re writing stuff as we go along. So we go back after we lay down the initial tracks for every song, which was 14 songs when we recorded Merriweather. We went back and decided what songs to work on right off the bat, and those two– „I Think I Can“ and „Graze– we knew they wouldn’t really fit on Merriweather, so we thought we’d put them aside until later.
The second song on the EP is called „What Would I Want? Sky“, which is the one with the Grateful Dead sample that people have been talking about a little bit. I went there with the blueprint of the song, but we never really played it together. We didn’t even really get to that one. We didn’t talk about it, but we figured we’d come back to it. And then we started playing that song live this year. We jammed in Lisbon for our first tour this year and worked it out. We decided we would record it for the EP.
The third song is called „Bleed“, and that’s another one we’ve been playing this year that just came together really fast. I thought it would be cool to do something a little bit more droney for our tour to throw in our live set. We ended up just being pretty psyched on it. It’s pretty simple, a kind of repetitive song. So we recorded that one.
The fourth song is called „On a Highway“, and it’s from the Merriweather era, too. We’ve done it on a BBC session. We started recording it during Merriweather, but it was the most like, „Whoa, this is definitely not going to fit on the record.“ It’s got different vibes altogether. We changed it a little. We went into the studio in Brooklyn, a studio called Mission. Ben Allen, the guy we’ve been working with on Merriweather and these songs, has been working there a lot, and he’s pretty familiar with it. It’s got a really great live room, so there’s a lot of that on the new stuff we’ve recorded. The drums sound really roomy and sweet.
