Now, we all love The Unicorns (If you don't, i'm not sure whats wrong with you). Unfortunately for us, The Unicorn's career was tragically short, leaving us with only one full-length and an ep. After playing these releases to death, i frantically searched the internet for more material from the group. What i found were demo recordings of varying quality, and, this gem: a collection of songs titled "All Make Parts & Collission". Alden Penner, one half of The Unicorns creative core (a.k.a Alden Ginger, or the one thats not in Islands), recorded some lo-fi demo tracks of his own before work on The Unicorns record had began. While this "album" is not 'Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone?" it does have the same charm that The Unicorns had. Highlights include "Stop Saying This That Aren't True", "Refinance Your Mortgage", and the instrumental accurately titled, "Instrumental". Also included are two other fantastic tracks by Alden, one titled "The Ghost of Creaky Crater", a one-off single recorded shortly after The Unicorns dissolved, and "Tha Wind", a demo recording from Alden's newest project, "Clues". Their debut album is out now, if you can find it, get it to me. please.
