The ever prolific, Durham-residing John Darnielle has made a triumphant return to the EP-format, releasing not one, but two tour-only 7-inches for his "The Last Happy Night of Your Life" tour with Kaki King. One is the Black Pear Tree EP, a six-song collaborative piece with King--the first 200 of which are to be printed on colored vinyl, so take note, collectors. (You can stream "Thank You Mario But Our Princess Is In Another Castle," from the Black Pear Tree EP on Pitchfork).But it's the four-song Satanic Messiah EP, limited to 666 physical copies (clever, eh?), that Darnielle has made available for download at the convenient price of whatever you want at satanicmessiah.com.
Both EPs were recorded by Scott Solter at his Baucom Road studio is Western N.C.
The only Carolinas date on the tour is a Nov. 5 stop at Carrboro's esteemed Cat's Cradle. For those willing to travel some, tour dates are listed below.
