New Buffalo - New Buffalo EP

A little musicbox of a record. Alternate versions of three songs from The Last Beautiful Day ("I've Got You And You've Got Me", "Recovery" and "Inside"), none of them improvements on the originals (though the distorted-guitar version of that first has a certain je ne sais quoi, tweaking the fuzzy dreaminess of the album version in a different way) plus two pleasant but not really memorable new cuts, and yet I can't honestly say that I'm disappointed by this ep, much as I would've preferred it had it been comprised of entirely new material, for it has that shimmery New Buffalo-ness to it...
