LOS ANGELES, June 4, 2008 — Feral Children’s debut full-length is still five weeks away from seeing the light of day, but the Seattleites are chomping at the bit to give a glimpse into their dark, frenetic indie rock. They will offer a free digital four-track EP, beginning today via Sarathan Records: sarathan.com/free/feralchildren_ep

The eponymous, abbreviated collection contains the songs – "Spy/Glass House," "Jaundice Giraffe," "Saint" and "Zyghost" – culled from the band’s forthcoming album, Second to the Last Frontier, produced by Arcade Fire and Animal Collective audio wizard Scott Colburn, due July 8 on Sarathan.

Revered throughout the Pacific Northwest for their wild and sometimes reckless live shows, which typically end with something broken and someone bloodied, Feral Children is an appropriate name for this group of backwoods musicians who relocated to Seattle from the small Washington town of Maple Valley. It’s this caustically wild performance that earned them an invite to perform at the Capitol Hill Block Party, July 26 in Seattle, joining Vampire Weekend, Darker My Love and Les Savy Fav. Prior to that, the fivesome will perform at the Noise for the Needy Benefit alongside Matt and Kim and YACHT at Seattle’s Neumos on June 14.

Feral Children caught the attention of influential Seattle-based radio station KEXP who has championed the band with major airplay and a high-profile slot on their holiday show alongside Yeasayer and Dead Confederate. Over the past several months EP track "Jaundice Giraffe" has become a staple on the station and has been singled out as their "Song of the Day." " The vocal ranting will bring to mind early Modest Mouse, but the jangly guitars and go-for-the-throat attitude will make you forget anything but Feral Children," they exclaimed.

There’s been no shortage of local love with The Stranger describing their music as "convulsive, percussive, skuzzed-out rock, as primal as a caveman fertility ritual" and Seattle Weekly gushing: "a gleaming, dark, and angsty effort that combines rock and roll with pop elements, stringing them out into complex, sometimes linear, song structures with yelps, screams, buzzing guitars, intense keys, and an underlying tone of conflict and rage."
