From CBC Radio 3:
It's so close you can almost hear the rumble of the Rolling Tundra Revue - the coast-to-coast tour that features the Weakerthans and the Constantines - and to mark the occasion, the Cons have just released Too Slow For Love, a companion EP to their acclaimed full-length, Kensington Heights.
Recorded at the Bathouse in Kingston, Too Slow For Love features alternate version of four tracks from Kensington Heights, which the Associated Press named Rock Album of the Year in 2008, as well as stripped-down versions of songs from Tournament of Hearts, Shine A Light and more.
The EP is available for free with the purchase of Kensington Heights, and for now, you can pick up both for $5.99 at the Arts & Crafts store or iTunes.
The Rolling Tundra Revue kicks off this Thursday in St. John's Newfoundland, and will travel right across Canada to Victoria, BC and up to Whitehorse, YT.
Too Slow For Love Track list:
1. Young Lions (Stripped down version, originally from Shine A Light)
2. Shower of Stones (Stripped down version, originally from Kensington Heights)
3. Conductor (Stripped down version, originally from Tournament of Hearts)
4. Our Age (Stripped down version, originally from Kensington Heights)
5. Strange Birds (originally by Jon Langford & The Sadies)
6. Do What You Can Do (Stripped down version, originally from Kensington Heights)
7. I Will Not Sing A Hateful Song (Stripped down version, originally from Kensington Heights)
