Mccombs, Cass – Not The Way

“Heavy-lidded tunes that sound like they were recorded post-bender, pre-afterglow.” – Alternative Press Cass McCombs’s 2002 debut EP Not The Way, a song-suite of narcotic lullabies, acutely observed lyrics, and preternatural hooks, introduced the world to a gifted songwriter possessed with a fully-formed vision and mission. His first release, the self-recorded 6-track EP was originally released on CD and was subsequently pressed by 4AD in the UK as a double 7″ a few years later. Now finally getting the 12″ pressing that will make collectors happy, this version also marks the first time Not The Way has been released on vinyl in North America.
