The Dear Hunter - Vinyl Sessions

Recently, The Dear Hunter put out Act I and II on vinyl (finally!!) and along with the 3xLP goodness that's already provided the group threw in a download card that enabled the buyer to get 4 alternate versions of a few songs online. It's really cool to hear the different styles that these songs can be played in and the different instrumentation that can be used (I'm looking at you, banjo). I've actually seen this version of Oracles live twice before, they have a lot of fun playing it and it sounds great. There were some other songs in this style that were cut from the final mix (His Hand Matches His Tongue and Red Hands, if I remember correctly) so that sucks, but 4 is better than none, eh?

By the way, that thumbnail is totally the real artwork... <.< >.> Ok I lied, but I couldn't/didn't care to find the actual art so that's what you get. The full size image can be found here.
