I\u2019ve recently reissued the WP\u2019s earliest release, The Elements of Style<\/i>, on the WP Bandcamp page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When I got the tracks remastered (or, truthfully, actually mastered to begin with), I listened to them again for the first time in years. It was a funny experience. This may be hard to believe, but I never got why people thought the WP sound was so \u201cweird\u201d in the early days. Now I can see why very clearly! It also gives me a much clearer sense how much the sound has transformed over the years\u2014again, that might seem obvious to someone else, but that kind of thing is harder to perceive from up close.<\/p>\n

Dirty, messy, sloppy and out of tune as well as defiantly lo-fi, these tunes represent the WP in its rawest form. They take me back to the innocent days where it seemed like all I had to do was hang out and make music with my friends, such as Peaches and Taylor Savvy who are responsible for recording and mixing these tunes.<\/p>\n

I could go on, but instead I\u2019ll just point you over to the link<\/a> and let you form your own thoughts. I\u2019m also curious if there is any desire for this to be released in a physical form. I\u2019ve been doing a lot of thinking lately about the role of physical vs. digital releases, and I\u2019d be curious to see what WP fans think. So let me know\u2026 and in the meantime, hope you enjoy this blast from the WP past!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
