So we know that we've kept this kind of hush hush, but Special Explosion has a new album out tomorrow! You can stream 'To Infinity' in full via Gold Flake Paint today, who called it a "detailed and impassioned masterpiece." Seriously give this a listen – it's sure to make it to those end of year lists.

Hello world! 

For a guy who would naturally not do much social media if he wasnt in a band, there is so much social media to keep up with! But you know, MNE blog will always be the home base for #thoughtsandfeelings...

So Walter Etc. has this split with Diners that is streaming at Gold Flake Paint today. LISTEN TO IT HERE.

The Diners side is really beautiful and innovative. Tyler not only writes really catchy and charming songs, but his instrumentation is always quirky and fun, like a 20teen’s Beach Boys which of course I love. We are really stoked to get to share a release with such a legendary band. Hopefully we can do more together in the future?

I’m stoked on our side as well. I think the recordings are a little funny cause they sound good but also the cymbals sound washy and I would have mixed it a little differently if we had more time and blah blah blah. We recorded it with our good friend Marc at his home studio last January and had a blast making it with him. I wrote Night Swim pretty much write before we went into the studio which is normally not something we’d do, but with the LP already recorded we felt this freedom to really stretch our own boundaries and just see what happens. Also, Every Lousy Paradise was a song that was going to be on Every Town Needs A Cowboy but I never finished it. Then I finished it in Nicaragua in 2014 and we’ve just been playing it for ourselves since. I’m glad its gunna live on through this split. 

Welp there’s a record release show at The Echo in LA on 6/24 w/ Diners and Peach Kelli Pop and I think everyone should go to that. It’ll probably be low key legendary. HERE’S THE TICKETS TO THAT. It’s also super cheap which is chill.

Also you can buy the split from Lauren Records here. 

Also we’ll have it for sale on MNE very soon too. 

Okie have a good one everybody,

Check out a new @wildonestheband song via GoldFlakePaint called "Standing in the Back at Your Show" from their upcoming album Mirror Touch out Oct. 6th.

If you haven't pre ordered the album yet, visit our store. 

Yesterday, GoldFlakePaint premiered Wild Ones' new single "Standing in the Back at Your Show," calling it "a sumptuous undertaking, one that bleeds an acutely subtle prickliness through the elegant shell of the composition which does its best to hide the such sentiments from view."

Today it is available for stream/purchase everywhere! This mellow track is perfect for those weekend chillin' playlists ~
