It's available in digital form at places like Amazon and iTunes. It's such an amazing record. I've listened to it nearly non-stop. I've been a fan of hers since her first album Post To Wire. It's been amazing seeing her grow as a performer from album to album. Her sound and songwriting just keeps changing and progressing. I love the beauty and mystery of Post To Wire, but I actually like the less electronic sound she's adapted since then. I really adore her songwriting as well. It's very nicely layered and slightly mysterious but incredibly listenable. Latency starts out on such a perfect note with "Ode.' Although it's written as an ode to a specific person, it's as much an ode to a certain time of life, a certain feeling that's been lost. There's a certain ache in the pit of my stomach I get when I listen to it. It's a beautiful ache though. *I hear all the time that there's nothing else / meanwhile my friends they're all getting out / I don't feel like doing the things I ought to do / remember when you thought of nothing else / you wasted your time and amused yourself / now here we are with the things we wouldn't choose* * * Although Ode might be my favorite, there's not a weak track on the EP. From the soaring rock energy of Stay for Fun, the shoegaze-like wall of sound supporting the chorus of One Canary, Two... there's just so much to recommend and like. I hope you guys will check it out! Jon ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V16 #16 **************************
