As Tall As Lions are set to release a new digital EP entitled Into The Flood November 29th on Triple Crown/East West. The band  recorded the EP with Mike Watts over a six day period in October at Vudu Studios in Long Island and are excited for their fans to get a taste of something new before they hibernate in early 2008 to record the follow up to 2006’s self titled LP.

“These new recordings are filled with life” says lead singer Daniel Nigro, “For the first time during the recording of Into The Flood we were able to let go of our perfectionist approach to recording and just play. We tried not to over-analyze the tones or the performances which led these songs to flow closer to what you see at our live show.”
