I somehow missed the release of Lou Barlow's EP, Mirror The Eye, back in January, but I ran across it a couple of weeks ago and immediately bought it. Being a fan of Lou's 2005 solo album, Emoh, I couldn't wait to give it a listen. While I was somewhat expecting Mirror The Eye to be b-sides from Emoh, that's not the case. The EP's five tracks were all recorded after Emoh, and they are all terrific. I guess it was better to find this later than never.
While bumping around Lou's website, I found a live version of the song "Legendary". The song appeared on Emoh, and has to be one of the saddest songs you'll ever hear. Be sure to give it a listen, and go to Lou's website to find more live and rare recordings.
