Sometimes when two friends from other bands come together to form a side project, you get something that doesn't quite live up to either band. But other times, you get Unalaska.

Zachary Gray of The Zolas and Brasstronaut's Edo Van Breemen have a pretty long history of friendship and collaboration, and now they have taken that to the next level by teaming up for a new project full of eerily haunting synth and catchy guitars; just about the perfect marriage of their two respective bands.

Their debut EP, simply titled Unalaska, came out this past Friday on Light Organ Records and is something you should probably put in your earholes as soon as possible.

(Also, that "If They Mated" photo of Edo and Zach is going to haunt my dreams for weeks)
