bit of a revisit for me as back in 2018-2020 cavetown was the singular artist id listen to and now just go back for the nostalgia, i remember hearing mans best friend and fully checking out after not liking it. this ep however has some really fun elements!! ive never heard him play with different synths like he did here and it makes for a refreshing little listen for an artist im used to only having one sound

THE COMEBACK I WAS HOPING FOR!!! who knew all it would take for me to get invested in cavetown again was him sounding like underscores. no but seriously compare 'let them know they're on your mind' to kinko's field trip 2006 its insane
