I'm a huge Switchfoot fan, and have been since
New Way to be Human came out many years ago. I heard exciting news today that I thought I'd pass along.
A few weeks/months ago Switchfoot announced they had went independant. See here for the thread that was posted when this happened:
Switchfoot gains independance
Anyway, I got word today from EMICMG that Jon Foreman's first EP entitled
Fall has a tentative release date of January 15, 2008. It will be released on Credential Recordings, which also has Future of Forestry, Dizmas, Edison Glass, and a few others. Now of course, this is all just happening, so some things can change. I don't know if there will be a seperate main stream release, but I assume there probably will.
The even more exciting news, is that I received a copy of the
Fall EP from my rep.
Here is the song list:
1. The Cure For Pain
2. Southbound Train
3. Lord, Save Me From Myself
4. Equally Skilled
5. The Moon Is A Magnet
6. Love Sets You Free
Now of course this is a pre-release, so like with any pre-release, the songs may change. (The pre-release of Remedy is slightly different that the actual release.)
So for all you Switchfoot fans, be on the look out. It's nothing ground-breaking, but it is
really good. It's very organic/acoustic/folk. Jo Foreman is such a great songwriter. There are very little if any electric instruments used (electric guitar, synths, electric bass, keyboard, etc.) The drums are VERY minimal to say the least. Lots of great instruments like harmonica, violins, cello, double bass, piano, acoustic guitar, trumpet, organ, and something I can figure out what it is. Maybe an oboe. Either way, after hearing this, I can't wait to hear what's next.
