Goon’s latest EP Paint By Numbers, Vol. 1 expands the band’s sound immensely, bringing it in a lush, freer direction, hinting at wilder things to come. Paint by Numbers 1 is the first of two EPs, done in a similar manner to founder Kenny Becker’s early Bandcamp days. Forgoing a traditional studio, Becker recorded Paint by Numbers 1 entirely at his apartment and the band’s rehearsal space, alternating between a used four track tape recorder and plugging straight into his computer interface. The songs were recorded quickly, capturing the urgency and energy with which they were written. Becker compares the songs to “sculptures or collages,” but “no less significant” to him.

Caleb Nichols is a queer writer and musician from San Luis Obispo, CA. Since 2005, Caleb's played guitar, bass, and sang in bands as disparate as DIY folk-punks the Bloody Heads, mid-2000's Pitchfork buzz band Port O'Brien, and Rogue Wave side project Release the Sunbird, not to mention his own projects, Grand Lake, CHURCHES and Soft People.
