Track Listing:
1. Shanghai White Oak Tree (2:17)
Punklicious picture painting. Love the lyrics on this track.
2. Spit in My Eye (2:12)
Deep rick base accompany some piercing fretwork are swallowed by GG Allen-esque vibes.
3. Burning Pt. 2 (2:29)
Steve Martin spoken word? Oddest of the lot.
4. Paoli in the Foothills (6:11)
Off the beaten mellow track that contains some raw off-kilter heart. Give it time to breathe
5. The Delicate (Shipping News) (3:09)
Rivals the opener for best track. Good grinding punk-faire.
