about

Perennial Love was originally a five track EP consisting of a few pre-album tracks and two live rehearsal tracks recorded in May 2006. Released as a short run 3" CD, it was a chance to promote the band again and prepare listeners for what was to come from the album - Los Musicos Perdidos.

This digital version is also bundled with a very rare promo EP 'Live & Rare' (2004), which consists of studio demos and a live performance at Museum, Melbourne, in June 2004.

Perennial Love (Extended EP) is a look at the boats when the band formed, and were starting out and finding their sound.

A free gift for fans.
