Originally released on a small run of CDs in 2002, Volcano, I’m Still Excited!!’s debut EP Carbon Copy has long been out-of-print and virtually impossible to find (physically and digitally).
Written and performed by the trio of Mark Duplass (vocals/keys), Byron Westbrook (guitar), and John Thomas Robinette III (drums), the touring VISE!! did behind Carbon Copy is what ultimately led them to play a show in Champaign, IL – a serendipitous night where they met the PV folks who would subsequently release the band's first (and sadly, only) full-length album, 2004's Volcano, I’m Still Excited!!. Though the group parted ways shortly after the album's release, Mark Duplass has stayed quite active writing, directing, and acting in a number of films and television series (way too many to list here).
In addition to Carbon Copy's original five-song tracklist, this deluxe reissue features expanded artwork and bonus material, including \"1st Gun\" from the out-of-print New Brad 7-inch, rare b-side \"I Push,” the original, extended version of \"Durham,\" and an acoustic rendering of \"2nd Gun.\"
Volcano, I'm Still Excited!!'s Carbon Copy (Deluxe Edition) is available now digitally, with physical arriving June 26, 2020.
