An idea hatched during the recording of Plumerai’s “Without Number” CD out on Silber Records. The thought was to strip away the pedals and even electricity and release a record that would simultaneously draw upon the band’s ability to evoke emotions and one of the band’s noted strengths; the intimacy and power of Elizabeth Ezell’s voice. After consideration they sought out The Brother Kite to record a track for the flipside. A Claire Records staple and another top-notch New England band known for their shoegaze influences, they seemed like a perfect match for the concept of stripping down their sound and writing an acoustic track.

Plumerai’s “Vacant Eyes” relies more heavily on orchestration and layering of instruments such as acoustic guitar, reed organ, violin (arranged and performed by Clara Kebabian) and bells to accompany Ezell. While The Brother Kite’s “We Can Never Be Friends” is a more basic track with acoustic guitars and a catchy vocal melody carrying the song. This stunning and beautiful record comes on coke bottle-clear vinyl and is limited to 500. The 7” is released by Darushka-4 and distributed by Claire Records.
