Record Store Day is almost upon us, and pop superstars Fun. will be participating in this year’s event with the release of Point and Light, a collection of demos recorded prior to the group’s 2009 debut album, Aim and Ignite. Physical copies will be available exclusively at independent stores tomorrow, but you can stream the five-song EP right now after the break.
Fans will no doubt be familiar with the final versions of these songs, but it’s still interesting to hear the progression that the arrangements went through before the official recording. “Light a Roman Candle With Me,” for instance, is stripped down to piano and vocals, which gives it an entirely different feeling.
In other Fun. news, vocalist Nate Ruess talked with Rolling Stone earlier this week about the state of the band’s upcoming third album, which is in the early stages of writing, and guitarist Jack Antonoff debuted his new project, Bleachers.
