More acoustic emo from the ex-Merchant Ships man.      Download Here Yes, I am posting quite a lot from this particular fellow, however it is all excellent. More acoustic minus the pretense from Nick Stutsman, Home Now is yet more tenderness, with laid back but effective lyrics. A Letter is a highlight.  RIYL: Bright Eyes, pennypack!                           Highly Recommended.

Acoustic split between Old Gray frontman Cameron Boucher and ex Merchant Ships man, Nick Stutsman.  Download Here. If you ever read a post on The Alternative Tone you know that Old Gray = AWESOME and Merchant Ships = AWESOME and acoustic = AWESOME, therefore Nick Stutsman/ Cameron Boucher Acoustic Split = MIND BLOWN. This is just brilliant. Download it now. RIYL:  The Alternative Tone Highly Recommended. 

Ex- Merchant Ships/ Midwest Pen   Pals emo man gone acoustic.  Download Here. Basically what would happen if you put Merchant Ships into a Bright Eyes blender. Sweet, likable acoustic, showing that even (post) hardcore men can show their feelings. Lyrics are surprisingly excellent and both tracks are quite tender and heartbreakingly sad.  RIYL: Merchant Ships, Bright Eyes Highly Recommended.
