As Portland's biggest acoustic export these days, it makes sense for Blind Pilot to release a live EP with their now expanded their lineup to tide fans over until their next studio full length. Three of the five tracks off the EP are quietly beautiful stripped-down versions of well-loved songs from 3 Rounds And A Sound. However, after having listened to the album pretty heavily for the last two years, the two new recordings are the real treat. "Look At Miss Ohio" is a loping Gillian Welch cover that they fill out and make their own, while "Get It Out" is brand new song that builds into a pleasantly catchy chorus. Overall, it's a solid EP for fans. However, after seeing them perform a fantastic version of MGMT's "Kids" at the Crystal Ballroom I wish they included a version of that too.The video of "Kids" is cut off and doesn't really capture rich acoustic sound of the performance, but it'll give you an idea of what you missed.
