Animal Style’s Pillow Talk and Tiny Engines’ Sinai Vessel have some upcoming Summer tour dates together as well as some apart. Pillow Talk is out in support of their recent What We Should Have Said EP on Animal Style. Sinai Vessel is out in support of their Profanity EP on Flannel Gurl. Full list of dates for both bands is below.

Animal Style Records released the new EP from Memphis, TN’s Pillow Talk earlier this year. The What We Should Have Said 12" EP is available for Order now. The band recently did an Audiotree session which can now be viewed here. The band also did two Little Elephant video sessions which you can see here and here. You can stream What We Should Have Said in its entirety right now on Brooklyn Vegan. Along with the full stream is a track by track in-depth feature written by the band. The new EP follows up the band’s 2014 EP, Recreational Feelings.

Tiny Engines recently welcomed Sinai Vessel to the label’s roster. The band will take a brief tour detour and head into the studio later this month to record their debut full-length with Chris Crisci of The Appleseed Cast. The album will follow up the band’s last release, the Profanity EP, released on 12" vinyl from Flannel Gurl in the Fall of 2014. The album is also available for name-your-price download on Bandcamp.

hey, it should be said that we simply no longer support ally newbold. there are both general and personal reasons for this; we choose not to divulge all of the personal ones as they don’t feel especially relevant or helpful to the conversation at hand. as far as the general reasons go, they are more or less public and are easy to find. the thing we find most disturbing–besides the abusive and problematic behaviors detailed in reports of friends of ours intimately affiliated with the communities involved–is the complete and total lack of accountability she has shown for her actions. as people who have spent a long time in close contact with her (she toured with us for two weeks this winter) and have seen her traits in action (both the good and the bad), we were willing to wait it out and see if she addressed these serious concerns. as of yet, she has made no attempt to do so.

as a band and as people, we seek to be wholly transparent. we make mistakes very often. we state the easy, universal admission that we’re constantly learning and full of faults. we have grown because people have confronted us about our inconsistencies in spheres both personal and professional, and we have allowed ourselves to be held accountable thereafter. this isn’t to say we aren’t any less shitty than the next group of people, but i’d be lying if i said we didn’t strive to put our best foot forward when it comes to treating people with fairness, love, and respect. it’s a simple idea, and it’s one we’ve found that an encouraging portion of the DIY community mutually adheres to.

we find it difficult to associate ourselves with anyone who doesn’t hold themselves to the same standard, but we also understand personalities are virtually as varied as infinity. however, when someone has ignored repeated confrontations about a litany of harms towards a litany of people, we figure it’s simply in our best interest (and thus, by proxy of concern for others, is not in the best interest of our friends) to not associate with that person at all.

it should be known that we will still use the footage we paid ally in full to shoot over the course of our winter tour for an upcoming music video. in all respects, that footage is paid for and is our property. it documents a lot of cherished moments over the course of that tour (which also unfortunately had its share of extremely rough and tense personal confrontations with the party in review). we don’t seek to promote ally newbold through this music video, and we wanted to make this statement in advance.

thanks for reading this. stuff like this is tough and uncomfortable, but absolutely necessary for the health of our communities.

Our new EP is finally streaming in full over at brooklynvegan.  This is my favorite track off the album, I’m glad everyone can finally hear the whole thing. Wait till the sun is going down, and then drive around and listen to it.
