This is one of those obligatory 'I support everything this band does' posts. Back in late '09/early '10 (like forever ago dudes) I could have crashed the Ex Wife bandwagon by myself considering the speed with which I jumped aboard the hype train. It seems like this EP is getting a lot of attention, but it may just be my frame of reference. On this (supposedly their final release) Ex Wife has added a bassist and relaxed a little bit. At first I wasn't sure if I was a fan of their slower sound but after a few listens I realized it didn't make much of a difference. They still write killer songs that seem to evoke some level of emotional reaction from me that few bands can. As a swan song "June" is appropriately melancholy, but what it misses in energy it makes up for in composition. This band could have been something else and this proves it.
