The first release on promising UK indie label Resonant welcomes back Toronto six piece Do Make Say Think with four exclusive tracks as a follow up to 1998’s well received eponymous debut album and as a prelude to their second long player (due early 2000 on the Constellation label).

The ‘Besides EP’ follows a similar musical path to the debut album. blissed out, dub infected guitar soundscapes with a hypnotic quality that gradually draws the listener in.  It includes tracks recorded over the last few years on their trusty eight track and tracks featured in their live set.

The release prepares the ground for the bands first tour of the UK and Europe scheduled for November / December 1999 followed by their second album, which seems sure to see them emulate the huge success of label mates Godspeed You Black Emperor !.

"Theres not much to do in Toronto on Tuesday night. Mabie yer friends and their problems have got the best of you and if its February on top of that, yer doomed. The highest of praise for the 8-track comes at these moments. The songs recorded are the purest of inspiration. Not intended for anyone elses ears but your own at the time. They are "the undeniable truths". Because after the stolen bikes, stoned Sunday afternoons, bounced rent cheques, awkward conversations with x-girlfriends, sunsets, pet deaths, first kisses and last goodbyes itsa good idea to hit play & record. Yes"
