This is a split EP we're issuing with Lesser Lights, Nate Baker's one-man San Francisco outfit. Nate's been a friend of ours for a long time (we played our first Three on the Tree show alongside an early incarnation of Lesser Lights, and Zeb & Nate only recently discovered they were on the same little league team when they were 8), and we've all had a great respect for his music for as long as we've known him. We were more than happy to back him up for a day in the studio last winter and help him explore some new textures in his songs.

We matched his two tracks with two we'd been exploring as a band as we have been developing ideas for our next full-length release. This next record certainly aims to capture more about what's been working in our live incarnation, and these two tracks were our first chances to arrange material together as a four-piece. We're really happy with the results, and we hope you'll enjoy it, too!

Tracking for the Lesser Lights tracks and "Now We Will Be Brothers" was done at the Looking Glass Studios in its waning days. As the place we all met as an ensemble, it was nice to track a few things there before it shut down operations. Tracking for "Give 'Em What They Want" was done at Farm Fresh Studios in Bloomington, IN, as well as vocal tracking at Brian Bender's space in Sunset Park. Special thanks to Jake and Brian for all their help with this project.

Here are some reviews: "Sometimes you hear music that is so heartbreakingly beautiful that you can't help being drawn to it. That is definitely the case with NYC's Bowery Boy Blue. Their CD, Stalk That Myth, plays like a lo-fi Americana orchestra. Touching vocals delivered in a way that you can't get out of your head, layered instrumentation... it's all there. Take a listen to "Come Closer, Sisters" and hear for yourself."
- IA: Instrumental Analysis (May 27, 2008)
"Comparable to Tony Dekker of Great Lake Swimmers and Rolf Klausener of The Acorn, Bowery Boy Blue’s Zeb Gould has one of those gorgeously soft and delicate voices. Likewise, much like The Acorn’s Glory Hope Mountain, Zeb Gould’s magnificent vocal is backed by the equally brilliant instrumentations by the rest of the band on Stalk That Myth (the violin on "Come Closer Sisters", "Eye For Love" and "Ghost Of The Blues" is especially beautiful!). Bowery Boy Blue’s debut full-length is a fantastic folk rock album; it is wonderfully breathtaking and genuinely passionate."
