I can't remember the last time I was this excited about a new EP! Sebadoh havd just released their first new material in 14 years on http://www.sebadoh.bandcamp.com/ and it's really, really good!
new songs for 2012 , a taste of our upcoming 2013 album, but, NONE of these songs will be on that album.. i repeat: NONE of these songs will be on our forthcoming/in progress 2013 LP .. this is our first new material in 14 years ( wtf! )... proceeds from this will help us continue working on the LP and remain as independent as possible.. physical copies (CD) only available at shows on our upcoming tour..
One of the best indie bands of the last 25 years is back and keeping things as lo-fi and DIY as ever. Please help to spread the word so that they can carry on making great music.

From backstagerider.com:
Well, here it is. The artwork for the first EP and the first new music that Sebadoh has put out in 14 years – exclusively via BackstageRider, the sorta one-stop Sebadoh shop. And guess what? It’s now available on BANDCAMP: http://www.sebadoh.bandcamp.com/ SURPRISE!

Containing five songs, three by Lou Barlow (“Keep the Boy Alive”, “Arbitrary High” and “All Kinds”) and two (“My Drugs” and “I Don’t Mind”) by Jason Loewenstein, with drums by Bob D’Amico, the EP features tracks that won’t be on the album the band is planning to release next year. And Lou says that if you liked old Sebadoh – circa Bubble & Scrape era – you’ll like these. At least he hopes so.

Typically and reassuringly, the artwork – pics taken by Jason on his phone, at Lou’s recording space in Glendale – is lo-fi. Lou’s been boning up on his Photoshop skills and the writing on there is, of course, his as well. It is, after all, the most recognizable handwriting in indie rock.

The EP was recorded by Sebadoh, mixed by Sebadoh (well, by Jason, and Andrew Murdock pitched in on track #3. Mudrock previously worked with Lou on Goodnight Unknown), designed by Sebadoh and will be put up on Bandcamp by Sebadoh. It’s an appropriate DIY return, and the guys are kind of really excited about it. Not as excited as we are:

“It’s safe to say I’m gonna lose my shit with the new @RealSeBADoh stuff comes out” tweeted Tyler from Dallas, echoing the thoughts of a small army of us.

For now, the EP will be sold on tour, and via Bandcamp and it may make a physical return down the line. Oh and did I mention the songs are amazing? THEY ARE. Catchy, driving indie rock, the way we like and missed it.

And the pics? Musician, filmmaker and band friend Adam Harding was in the studio with the guys in February, while they were working on the full album and snagged me a few screenshots from the videos. LOOKIT!

It’s exciting times, friends, exciting times. Now if you’ll excuse me I’m going to go and smash my head on the punk rock. Buy the new EP now: http://www.sebadoh.bandcamp.com/ \m/
