But a new album would still be nice: RiverRuns are interesting and experimental but never really seem to garner the same amount of excitement as a full-length. Plus, the RiverRuns in the past seem to be EP-length releases that hold a few keepers and side-longs (JAL To Tokyo, Peach Tree, AFFC, etc.) while making up the rest with some neat but forgettable ones (Dub Shepherd, Vanilla Monkey, Mowed Path, etc.). LPs can hold the same amount of creativity without the "this is experimental, that issue can stay in as an artistic statement" shrug-off attitude that goes with a, no pun intended, underneath-the-radar release. After all, they'll be subject to a far greater amount of critical scrutiny.
