Stream New Trick in full: Skating Polly dropped their New Trick EP - featuring Louise Post and Nina Gordon from Veruca Salt and produced by Brad Wood (Liz Phair, Sunny Day Real Estate, Smashing Pumpkins) - on April 28th via El Camino Media. They kicked off news of the EP via NPR who premiered the video for "Hail Mary," noting that the song "...showcases Skating Polly's characteristic moodiness, as well the more subtle layers of harmonies that Post and Gordon brought to the new songs." Post wrote about how she and Gordon first hooked up with Kelli Mayo (17) and Peyton Bighorse (21) and gave a really great account of their experience working together for The Talkhouse last week, read HERE. Kelli and Peyton's brother Kurtis Mayo (20) officially joined the band following the recording of the new EP and has been on the road with them since they started touring in support of New Trickon May 1st. The EP is out digitally and physically via El Camino Media, with the vinyl including a B-side etching hand-drawn by the band - which can be purchased HERE.
