Wow, this was not expected, but this new EP from The Gloomcatcher is being released on December 8th, 2017.

The 1st track "Night" is streaming.

Very excited to hear this, and pretty much any music from Jessy Ribordy. I suppose 1 reason why this could be a project to see more from sooner rather than The River Empires is The Gloomcatcher of course is an offshoot of TRE; music that was originally written for TRE but didn't quite fit with the aesthetic and concept? of TRE at the time, so The Gloomcatcher was created.

But it has been more acoustic and more of Jessy doing mostly everything.

At any case, this is the 1st release from The Gloomcatcher or TRE since 2011. Starla Over the Fences was their last release which I recall liking a lot back in 2011 and I should revisit.

Also the cover art? it says it's temporary on bandcamp, but who knows.

edit: LOVE this new track. Man, I'm stoked for this!

"Guess what I'm currently working on??? A little EP that I was supposed to release in October last year."

I read a quote I thought Jessy Ribordy saying that he's working on this EP due to the fact the timing of the next The River Empires album was delayed more than he anticipated. Sort of as another thing to put out for the fans of his work until TRE's. And as that says, this EP was supposed to be released last year actually. I recall seeing a few posts from him or others about that.

Slow Chorale, the debut record from TGC was pretty good. I think the stuff on this EP is going to be some songs (or ideas for songs) that he hadn't finished, but were written (came up with) during the same time as the music on Slow Chorale. So to expect vast differences in the music on this from SC might not make sense.

But regardless, this is something to look forward to along with the new Falling Up record, and then likely in the fall sometime, Mars/Brighton II the 2nd LP from The River Empires. And soon, as it may even be released digitally before the new Falling Up record.
