Heavy Ghost, the debut album from DM Stith, had an almost supernatural effect when it was released in March of 2009. Reviewers and fans alike acclaimed it as a stunning debut unlike anything else they'd heard in a while. Stith's peers received it just as well: Ed Droste of Grizzly Bear twittered about it calling it a "lovely album," and Bat for Lashes picked it for her New York Times playlist, saying It traverses all these magical landscapes almost like Alice through the looking glass. Like you re being sucked into a secret world."

Now, Stith returns with BMB, a seven song release and the first in a trilogy of EP s to be released before the end of the year. The version of "BMB" found on this EP is slower than the version on Heavy Ghost. It is starker, almost skeletal in the way it reveals the turning gears of the song. In it, Stith's reverb drenched vocals drift over a leading soft piano, ghostly choral chants, and the occasional whisper. Where the Heavy Ghost version of "BMB" is a tease into a mid-album lacuna, a transition for the albums themes of waking dreams and spiritual torment, this original resolves more like a traditional pop song, even using some of the most centrally canonical lyrics of the love ballad be my baby It is kind of a hopeless love song - no doubt, a boon for Stith fans.
