Download Ivan & Alyosha’s ‘Fathers Be Kind’ EP For Free

Indie folk wunderkind Ivan & Alyosha are kicking off their tour tonight in Bend, Oregon, sparking a 10 day run supporting Brandi Carlile. To celebrate, they are giving away their newish EP, Fathers Be Kind, for the low, low cost of free. Just go to NoiseTrade or the band’s official site, enter your email address and zipcode, and away you go.

Ivan & Alyosha – Fathers Be Kind

This EP is incredibly good, and completely worth your time (even if you’ve never heard any of Ivan & Alyosha’s songs before), so do yourselves a favor and download it, won’t you? I feel that I would be remiss in my duties as tastemaker if I didn’t hassle you about it, so go. Can you really pass up free music from a band who named themselves after Dostoyevsky characters and possess possibly the most gorgeous voices in modern folk rock? Exactly.

If you really want to do yourself a solid, go listen to Ivan & Alyosha on NPR’s Mountain Stage.
