The Globes Announce Debut Details, Download "Sister Songs" EP for Free


Early last year, a band called The Globes from Spokane, WA dropped a line and shared some of their music, before they inked a deal with Barsuk. The first two songs I heard from the band -- and shared on the site -- blew me away, once again proving that some of the most impressive bands out there aren't receiving the attention they truly deserve. So, it only seemed right, like the universe had done something just, when Barsuk signed the band.

The Globes are set to release their debut album, Future Self, on April 26 through Barsuk. To celebrate the release, the band is offering up their Sister Songs EP for FREE download right now on their Purevolume page (act quickly, as this offer is for a limited time only). The tracks ("Stay Awake" and "A Stitch Couldn't Save the World") on the aforementioned Globes post have been disabled by Mixtape Muse, but both songs can be found on the Sister Songs EP. You can also download "Stay Awake" below, which will appear on Future Self.

MP3: The Globes - "Stay Awake"

Both Future Self and the EP were recorded with veteran producer John Goodmanson (Blonde Redhead, Death Cab for Cutie, Unwound).
