It’s not everyday that a shaggy haired musician in a 70′s era polyester suit starts making eyes at you. Well, maybe it is, I don’t know you that well. But it’s certainly not every day that you make out with said musician behind a DJ booth while his drummer performs the full choreography from ‘Thriller’. Actually, maybe it is, you don’t know me that well either.

Sometimes fate has a funny way of introducing you to people that will end up an important character in your life’s story. And though once upon a time there was a “once upon a time”, occupational hazard I’m afraid, that musician’s band still remains a part of my story and hopefully in turn, yours. That band is Senryu. A group that over the course of the last two years, we’ve seen grace the pages of Spin and most recently record a session with Daytrotter (which we hope we’ll hear sometime this year, guys!).

Senryu has a new EP out entitled Dying In Fast Forward. Released last week free of charge on Bandcamp and featuring the new additions of Puerto Rican brothers Dan and Andres McCormack to the long time line-up of Wil Wright, Steven Rodgers and Mike Agentis, the title track from Dying In Fast Forward has slowly become ingratiated into my brain. I find myself humming it at all hours of the day. Always a sign of a fine song. While you can download the straight EP from Bandcamp, you can only find the remix EP, Laughing In Slow Motion, here exclusively on TMS. We love it and hope you do too. Make sure to grab both to properly contrast and compare.
