I have decided to revisit the much adored IVM Release from Pennylane titled “From Paradise to Parking Lots“.

I am also going to get new artwork designed for the album cover and possible limited tape release of this Ep, the first physical print of this Ep since the 2004 (out of print) CD.… Continued →
