Ok, here is the deal with this. I deleted the full album download and am replacing it with a promo single that I received from Deus Ex Machina Publicity. Check out the single titled "For Things That Haven't Come Yet" and tour dates! Thanks, everybody.The backing band augments Theo Hilton's book-open vocals and beautiful fingerpicking with a suitably eclectic array of instrumentation. Laura Carter and Robbie Cucchiaro, both formerly of Athens' legendary and notoriously horn-buoyed Neutral Milk Hotel, head up a brass-and-winds section comprised of Laura's celebratory trumpet, Robbie's Baritone Euphonium, a couple clarinets, harmonica, recorder and whatever else you can pack into a touring-trunk and bring along for a blast. Rhythmic backbone comes courtesy of Southern punkrock siren Madeline Adams' bass, Matte Cathcart's drumming and some right-on Fender Rhodes piano provided by Hot New Mexicans' mainman Patrick Jennings.

Connor, there's nothing wrong with giving the album a listen then paying for it later if you enjoy it.
Link removed. Trust me that the album is good and you should buy it. No sampling required!

Welcome! Thanks for the promo track via email!
that's not very "punk" of you. it's not about how many records you sold, it's about getting the music out for EVERYONE to listen to.
Yeah, except I'm not selling records or making a profit. Plus, several friends of Theo's told me that they were not pleased.
I'm not one to disrespect the artist personally. Also, there's a point to punk that involves not getting your blog taken down due to legal threats.
It's about what the artist wants, not what I want.
