Fire Records just pushed back the release date of Jackie-O Motherfucker‘s Earth Sound System to July 5, so the band’s Tom Greenwood made this mix tape of rare songs for fans. (Non-fans can check it out, too, we assume.) The six-track Earth Sound System, the Portland, Ore., band’s 15th LP since 1995, was recorded and co-produced by multi-instrumentalist Brian Mumford (also of Dragging An Ox Through Water). Says Greenwood, “Who knows if anyone has ever actually turned lead into gold, but at the core of all alchemical ideas is the concept of transformation: garbage in, lotus out. You’ll find that meditating on transformation can be a spiritual source, and as you spend time thinking about the possibilities, you will carry these concepts into other parts of your life. It’s the foundation of hope where you are toiling now, and this is the best way to pursue change.” We’re not quite sure what the heck he is talking about, but it sounded nice enough to quote. Anyway, download Earth Sound System opener “In The Willows” below.
