Surprise new EP released by The Republic of Wolves, different than what they've done before, but still so great. Sapphirine is so freaking good.

Track List:

1. Lens
2. Nightjar
3. Veer
4. Idyll
5. Sapphirine
6. Mictlāntēcutli
7. Reedcutter

 

EP rules. Went back and listened to Varuna after a few listens of the ep and wow, it really holds up. Id love a proper tour.

 

I hope they're fully back, but I know they live in different places which logistically makes things harder, but if they toured I would go for sure.

 

enjoying this.

 

was so excited for this when i got up at 5am. Have loved this band since His Old Branches. I will say after listennig 3 times thus far, its ranking low. But excited to keep digging into it and hopefully have a stronger opinion. Just happy to have some new material from them. I don't dislike this EP.

 

Incredible work! Might be one of my favorites of theirs

 

It’s fine. Enjoyable, but not something I see myself coming back to.

 

Gonna abuse this on my flight to NYC tmrw. Stoked

 

I think that this is really cool

 

I really like most of this. Not sure its as good as their last release though. Very happy to have them back though.

 

This is unreal.good

 

love this

 

Ughh this goes so hard. Can't stop listening

 

So good. Listened to this on repeat about 4-5 times at the gym alone yesterday.

 

Veer slaps so hard, man.

 

I'm so happy this band is still alive and wish desperately they would tour.

 

Really feeling Reedcutter today, their closers are always top notch.

 

Absolutely unreal how good this is. It keeps growing on me too.

 

I’ve wanted to listen to this band for a long but never got around to it until now. They have been recommended to me so many given other bands I love. This is the first thing I’ve listened to by them and I love it. They have a pretty deep discography. What should I listen to next from them?

 

I would listen to Shrine next, but honestly Varuna and No matter How Narrow are also great, the latter being a bit of a departure from their usual though.

 

this is fucking great

"but the exorcism was buy one get one free" - dude still has some of the best one-liners in the game

 

Shrine is one of their best and the most accessible imo. Love the avatar.

 

His Old Branches EP is their best work IMO.

 

Also got this band recommended to me based on my tastes....need to give it a few more listens but it definitely reminds me of and makes me miss Brand New

 

Waking up at 4:45 for work is tough some mornings but this was the best damn surprise when I opened up spotify the other day lol. Love these guys
