The whole EP is being given away for free! Get it here. (as seen on the ISO50 blog)
The last track, “Grandma’s Words / Rise Out Of The Stone”, is the standout. I was really moved by the spoken intro – a sobering reflection on Japanese-American internment as practiced by the US government during World War II. The segment, apparently recounted by Saginaw’s grandmother, includes this timely warning:

An important lesson to keep in mind, for sure.
