  • This limited edition disc and packaging are designed to look like a miniature vinyl record. Not only is the cover art designed to have that vintage album feel, but it comes in a cardboard sleeve just like a record. The disc itself is designed with a black textured top that looks and feels like a 45 rpm vinyl. Each disc is hand-stamped with the Klopfenpop logo and the album title is hand-written onto the center label by the Klopfenpop himself.

Droplets from sprinklers glisten in the sun Rainbows refractin’ off every single one Slip slide and grass hill, hamburger gas grill Boombox, Warren G, “Regulators,” mass ill Ultraviolet eminence Evidenced by erythemic dermis on residents A semblance of good times had outdoors Complainin’ with your crew mad about chores “How ‘bout yours?” Not a care in the world. Worry ‘bout final bosses than ‘bout girls Scurry toward the tippy tree top chasin’ a squirrel Hurry for the ice cream shop, it’s chocolate swirl. The day unfurls—lovely. Layin’ on my back watchin’ clouds pass above me. Waitin’ for nothin’, but tomorrow to arrive Like it was nineteen ninety motherfuckin’ five. All we wanna do is ride around in the sun Chillin’ with the crew and we’re down for some fun Breakin’ out the bike, it’s a breezy, easy day. Drop head nods to homies as I’m cruisin’ ‘round the way Chicken and ribs—the smell permeates the block Time to roll around the corner; mini-mart candy stock Cart the treasure trove home for a quick intermission. Peanut butter jelly—sustenance acquisition. Returnin’ to the street, Mom attempts to prevent; Commence the day’s nonsense under false pretense. No obligations, possibilities abound. Profound revelation: Ice cream truck. Turn around, Gotta chase it down, get that push-pop snack fix Roll past graffiti walls, admirin’ graphics. Final stop: comic shop. New issue in the back pocket. Head to a shady spot, last thing on the day’s docket. Ride bikes everyday, just feelin’ so alive Like it was nineteen ninety motherfuckin’ five. All we wanna do is ride around in the sun Chillin’ with the crew and we’re down for some fun Days stretch into forever—keepin’ it real. A couple water gun fights, then bombin’ a hill, backyard trampoline, never sittin’ still. Even so, keepin’ it chill from ’95 till Gettin’ late, headin’ home, tuckered out Collapse into a cul-de-sac coma, no doubt Just can’t get to sleep, though, it’s still light outside Like it was nineteen ninety motherfuckin’ five. All we wanna do is ride around in the sun Chillin’ with the crew and we’re down for some fun All we wanna do is ride around in the sun Chillin’ with the crew and we’re down for some fun

about

Featuring a plethora of b-side material and two new singles, this EP marks a turning point for Klopfenpop. More vinyl-centric production is evident in the 5 instrumentals included on this release and a more focused, thoughtful vision is present throughout.

Including collaborations with Ultraklystron, Johnny Nero Action Hero, Maros, NES-T, Tyler Smith, and Packy Lundholm (of I Fight Dragons), this EP is bound to be regarded as a rare glimpse at the future trajectory of Klopfenpop's music.

Along with 8 completely unreleased cuts, this EP includes two track that, prior to this release, have only ever performed live. One is a mashup seen only at a show during PAX2011 by 800 people of "Dual Wield" (from Klopfenpop's freshman release "Temptations of the Fresh") and Johnny Nero Action Hero's "Stillwig". The other, the non-demo version of "Tough Guise", appears here in it's first ever studio form.
