Eru : I would be down to meet up with anybody on this trip:) I am going mostly to explore earth. I have lived half my life in the USA and am debating spending the 2nd half on the other side of earth. I will be in belgium around September
Steve : I want to go just to hang out with you
Splitneedle : Europe is amazing. Go see Berlin, Madrid, Paris, Rome, stuff like that, but little cities can be very nice as well. You'll have such a good time! If you pass through Belgium, I'd be happy to guide you here :)

Steve : were in eurp

[PREMIERE] HAPPY TRENDY - January 6

Written by Matt Adler

New Music

HALF AWAKE // EYES HALF-CLOSED

We're all very excited to be able to drop a premiere for January 6 --- the first official cut off the Die Young EP from Dylan Khotin-Foote's HAPPY TRENDY outlet.

There's a marked progression sitting nestled in the sonic layers of January 6 and the rest of Die Young. The gleaming instrumentals and naked pathos are still omnipresent but it's the overall pointed and razor-sharp delivery that makes this one of our favorite listens of the year.

January 6 is a tale that waxes poetic on shedding your skin and wading into another life. There's such a raw innocence and sincerity to it that it can feel almost voyeuristic listening to his story of abandoning your past and starting anew.

There are very few things in life as gratifying as finding unadulterated beauty in absolute sincerity and, like Dylan's past material under both the Kumon Plaza and HAPPY TRENDY namesakes, you don't have to dig very far to find exactly that.

Give a listen to January 6 down below, check out the Die Young teaser vid and, if you're in the EU, feel free to rejoice as he's headed abroad with Foxes in Fiction for a European tour at the end of November. Scroll down for a full list of the dates. Die Young is out next week, November 20th, on the consistently amazing Orchid Tapes. Check the HAPPY TRENDY bandcamp and tumblr to grab his past releases and Die Young when it drops next week.
