The Rest: Cried Wolf Book and EP
The internet has opened up ways for artists to find creative ways to explore the art of songwriting, mixed with other art forms. If you read Puddlegum you may have noticed that we can’t resist writing about projects that think beyond the structure of chords. So when we find out about a band writing a children’s book and an accompanying EP, you can understand our excitement.
Free to view and download at the exchange of your email address, The Rest wrote a fourteen chapter book called The Cried Wolf Book, “dedicated to all those boys and girls who have cried wolf.” Written as a children’s book, though its dark nature isn’t aimed at kids, each page makes up a chapter with an accompanying illustration by MLXNDRSC. The Rest also recorded The Cried Wolf EP, a four track EP that corresponds with the book; each section of the book has a song with the same title.

Along with The Cried Wolf Book/EP, The Rest have released a music video for The Lady Vanishes, from their full-length called Everyone All At Once. The song is set to Alfred Hitchcock‘s 1938 film which shares the same name as the song. I think you’ll enjoy the way the song flows with the compressed version of the film.
