Our new Memory Dust EP will be out digitally on June 13, featuring “Sugar Babies,” “Silver Girl,” and a cover of Bo Diddley’s “She’s Fine, She’s Mine.” These three songs all originated with the Lucifer On the Sofa sessions, but they were left unfinished until recently. Today you can listen to “Sugar Babies”.
Catch us this Saturday, Feb. 18, on @AustinCityLimitsTV, airing live on your local @PBS station and streaming at pbs.org/austincitylimits and the PBS app. It's a good one, don’t goof this up. #acltv
