And so my cousin peeped over my shoulder while I was listening to this, full screen Cover Flow and all that. And he squinted.

Ermine? Ain’t that like a rat or some shit?

Eh, sorta. I’m not exactly sure the connection between the semi cuddly woodland creature and the new EP from Marilyn Roxie (who you may have seen crawling around inside the tubes as of late), but it’s some ambient / electronic / background music for life kinda stuff, so if the idea of a slightly less energetic Red Snapper or Tortoise sounds kosher to you, it’s a pretty entertaining sample that’s worth the download.

The EP’s standout is right off the top – Clearing Clouds is worth adding to your MP3 collection immediately, if only to plug into a downtempo playlist. At a little under 3 minutes, it sounds like a transition you’d hear on a movie soundtrack. The rest of the disc is at a slightly lower, but consistent, level of quality. The whole EP clocks in in about 12 minutes, so when you hear something you don’t like (Sunset in a Breath’s got too many cute effects for something that short), it’s over in about 90 seconds anyway.

You can get it in about 30 seconds right here:

    Ah, well, I’m glad you liked it Dillenger! That pic of an actual ermine is made of so much win, man. Seems to suit the music too…somehow.
