Jay Som‘s Everybody Works was one of last year’s best Bay Area releases, so we’re really excited about the announcement of the Pirouette 7″ (out this month on Polyvinyl Records), which includes two new songs recorded alongside (but omitted from) last year’s LP.
According to Melina Duterte:
Both of these tracks were made during the spring of 2016 – the first demo stages for Everybody Works. They were fun to write and record but felt out of place on the track list during the finalization of the album. These tracks remain close to my heart and I’m really grateful they’re finally out in the world.
