If you didn’t already know, Bandcamp is waiving its fees again today, putting more money directly in the pockets of artists — or the charities they’re choosing to support. All of that makes this a great day to score some new music — like these new EPs that were just released (including one that’s literally here today and gone tomorrow):
Father John Misty
Anthem +3

The additional three covers were recorded over the past few years. One of us Cannot Be Wrong features a 25-piece band including drummer James Gadson and has been remixed for this release. Trouble and Fallin’ Rain have never been officially released before.”
