With little fanfare, A Will Away have dropped a surprise acoustic EP called More Bliss. Featuring three acoustic versions of favorites from their excellent 2015 EP Bliss, More Bliss is available as an exclusive stream and download at Glamour Kills.

The band takes a slightly more subdued approach in the new interpretations of “My Sitter” and “Be Easy,” which feature lush, layered production value and pitch-perfect vocal harmonies. Elsewhere, “Play Dead” is slowed down and fitted to a new time signature with melodic changes that accentuate lead vocalist Matt Carlson’s impressive voice.

Listen to More Bliss below via Glamour Kills. Make sure to pick up Bliss proper, one of my favorite releases of 2015, on vinyl and CD here.
