Josh Ritter has been quiet recently but he’s back with a double whammy of an EP to release and a novel too. Now the novel isn’t our side of things, but it is called Bright Passage and will be published in April.
The music side of things we are very much more relevant too and hotly anticipating this EP which will feature six new songs from Ritter. The EP will be called ‘Bringing In The Darlings EP’ and will be released on February 17th 2012. It was recorded and mixed in just four days in New York and will be released on CD, 10″ vinyl and digitally. The EP was produced by Josh Kaufman.

[sws_blockquote_endquote align=”” cite=”Josh Ritter” quotestyle=”style03″] I knew I wasn’t making my next album here, but something smaller, and that smallness felt really good. I was listening to a lot of early Buddy Holly, Ricky Nelson, and the Everly Brothers, and the mood struck me one day to sit down and put to tape some songs that felt graceful and uncomplicated. Simplicity was what I wanted, musically and lyrically. During the winter months, simpler fare sticks to the ribs, but hopefully it tastes just as good. [/sws_blockquote_endquote]
