Cut of the Day: "Tedium Everlasting," And And And

Stream a stripped-down, bummed-out ballad from the band's limited edition tape...while you can.

By Matthew Singer

And And And is turning 6, and to celebrate, the indefatigable basement-pop troupe is putting out an (extremely) limited edition free cassette of unreleased songs and alternate versions of previously issued material. Drummer Bim Ditson explains:

The Quit tape will only be given out in physical copies, because "we're pretty disenchanted with digital streaming these days," Ditson says. They are, however, letting us embed one song, the swaying ballad "Tender Everlasting." True to Ditson's description, it's a bare-boned track, built from only acoustic guitar, harmonium and some major morning-after bummer vibes. Get the cassette (if you're lucky) at And And And's upcoming tour kick-off tomorrow night at Dante's.
