Sure it looks interesting but the shipping cost to Chile is a real bummer plus the whole eco-friendly packaging sounds like it's going to turn into dust/grime after a few years.

I love the idea that the packaging will disintegrate (hopefully) before me.

Just wait for the inevitable Ipecac full length next year. All the tracks you missed and more!! You know it will happen!

I'd say 50/50 there will be one exclusive track to this release. I ordered. I'm a sucker for Dunn & Buzz together.

I know nothing of this seemingly mighty "woke" endeavor ... it brings the notion of "limited" into a whole new 10th circle of collector's hell, haha!

Question is - would it disintegrate before Ian tossed it in the trash?

No. I'm far too fast acting! As a general rule: Packaging gets a day and then is gone, gone, gone!

This is another good EP! The KingDunn stuff is shaping up nicely. It's actually pretty refreshing and feels a lot like 'Gift Of Sacrifice' to me. I can't wait to hear a full length. When i heard 'Eat The Spray' i immediately thought it sounded familiar to me. Then i realised that the beginning vocals from Buzz were in one of Toshi's little in studio Instagram videos from earlier this year. Or last year! I wonder if there will be a third EP or the album will be next in Feb/Mar time! I would suspect so since Buzz said about hopefully going on a tour with Trevor in early 2023.

Side note - Is it King Dunn or KingDunn??

Judging by your post, I assume you already received the CD, right?

I dig it. No standout tracks yet, they're all about even so far. All between two and five minutes. The first two sound like This Machine tunes with Trevor added, the third song sounds more like Freak Puke without drums, and the last one sounds most like a Gift of Sacrifice tune. And you're like "but those three descriptions all sound the same. Fuck you, aa" and well you're probably right. This EP is more expensive and less essential than any of those records. But I don't regret my purchase. I'd most like to just have a King Dunn album with these tunes on it and a tour so I can further appreciate them.

"The World Gets Smaller" is probably my favorite. That groove in the second with the refrain, "assume it's like you," is stuck in my head. Trevor is just going to town there.

been listening to both ep's last night. i think this is my favourite of the two. B sides from Gift of Sacrifice sessions?

hadn't listened to a cd in a while. my whole setup is fucked. checked out Bad Mood Rising and this a few times last Sunday. it was a cool transition to go from the heavier BMR to this. enjoyed it a lot.

No, they recorded this stuff last year some time around the same time as Bad Mood Rising.

I think it's what they referenced on the podcast where Neil Hamburger hosted last year. I think Trevor came to town and he and Buzz set up and did a bunch of these tunes.

Yeah that was it. I remembed the interview but forgot who it was with. Buzz said they were going to go do some recording together right after the interview.

Nice one! Glad to hear you finally have it. I think that's my favourite song of the 4 too!

Yeah, there's a slow pulsing low rone that at first I thought was bowed upright bass, but now I think it's synth. Cool tune. Too bad so few will hear it.

ehm... I wouldn't be so sure about that.

I know that what I'm about to say is going to sound very unethical, and I apologize for that, but the album is already being shared on places like Soulseek, I know this because it's actually the only platform I still visit when I'm looking for stuff that is hard to find or when I have a doubt about a certain song (actually, I've been using YouTube more for the latter) but yes, the EP is already there. Sure, I don't think 99% of the world population go to (or even remember) places like Soulseek but... you know... if you're looking for dark stuff or things that have been out of print for a very long time... or if you happen to live in a place where record stores are almost extinct (like my city, for instance) then yes, Soulseek is a good option.

oh,i'm one of the very few that still uses soulseek too .to be honest has been a while now but you can put me in the list of soulseek users  :)

Come on then, where is this KingDunn album then? I'm currently listening to both the EP's and this stuff is way too good NOT to get a proper, full-length release.

Are we going to retroactively start thinking of Gift of Sacrifice and the Six Pack EP as King Dunn

In a way they are aren't they. Although Trevor didn't "write" that material even though he obviously composed his own parts.
