The backing track to the video above is your preview to the B Side of Writer's Miss Mermaid 7 Inch, an alternate version of "Swamp Fire Lake" recorded, mixed, and mastered in one day by Andy and Jayme of Writer, Travis and Paul of Tape Deck Mountain, and Brad Lee at SDRL. Pick up a copy of the 7 Inch from Loud And Clear Records for $5 bucks. For now here's Miss Mermaid to refresh your memory.
