It’s springtime in America! And while Global Warming is slowly and consistently making our Summers hotter than the Devil’s perineum, our Winters are also getting colder and harsher than ever before. With that in mind, we here at XRA Records are fully prepared to revel in the renewal of this mild Spring, no matter how short it may be.
Lucky for all of us, Living Well have just released the perfect soundtrack for celebrating the flora and fauna of 2013. I would most assuredly describe the collection of songs on With The One That I Love as “feel-good”. In fact, I’d even go so far to say that it’s a prerequisite to listen to this album in good company. The more, the merrier. The number of catchy hooks and melodies jam packed onto this record is astounding. Non-stop action? You bet! But then, how could we expect any less from the team of Bryant Fox (ex-Alexander the great, ex-husband&wife), Ben Lumsdaine (ex-Alexander the Great, Snaarj), Glenn Myers (The Calumet Reel), and Evan Monroe Chapman (Youtube.com)?!
Another reason why we recommend listening to these tunes in groups is because not only are they the partiest jams of the new beginning, but they’re also fat with insight and reflections of love, the future, and unsuspected living. We’d hate for that to hit you while you’re sitting alone. So, in order to aid in your quest for some new hit jams to bop to, some buddies to share your brew with, and some deep thinking to influence the conversation, we’ve decided to release this record in the only way that made sense to us. Starting now, we’re releasing a stupidly limited number of Officially licensed LIVING WELL With The One That I Love commemorative Euchre Decks! Each deck comes with the 24 cards you need to play as many hands of Euchre as you can stand, plus a coupon to download the entire record so you have some killer jams to jam while you’re ratcheting up the competition. The only thing we can’t provide here are the drinks and the buddies to play with.
BUT WAIT! THAT’S NOT ALL!!! The face of every card in the deck also holds a key piece to a PUZZLE that can only be completed by strategically laying every card in the deck end-to-end in the correct order! So, once you get bored with Euchre (as if) you and your pals can settle in for a nice relaxing 25-piece puzzle just as “Beside Myself” rolls around to drive you home.
Yes, the digital version of With The One That I Love is going to be around forever, but I’m dead serious when I say that these card decks won’t last long. They’re expensive and labor intensive to make, so only 48 exist. And they truly are a beauty to behold. ACT FAST. (and get a good look at them right here)
