Crazy Mary: I'm Not Going to Stop Touching It (EP)
[Humsting]

Im Not Going To Stop Touching It is a five-song EP (that clocks in at under sixteen minutes) made up of songs from Crazy Marys last two releases, Knucklehead and Burning Into The Spirit World.  Billed as a collection of digital remixes, songs that were once spare and clean have been covered in effects and echos, but still retain their original core.  Sophia Jacksons vocals get a lot of the remix attention, playing on the Nico influence that was present on Knucklehead. 

Overall, these new mixes highlight interesting parts of the original songs more focus on the horns in When The Shit Hits The Fan; more focus on Walter Stedings violin in Land Of Jagged Mountains.  This last track is the most improved there are washes of Middle-Eastern instruments with the violin, and Jacksons vocals sound airy and strong. 

Although Im not sure what the point of this release is exactly, it is a fun, quick listen, and the songs do sound thicker and better-produced than the original versions.  Crazy Mary seem like they are adding a bit of a dance feel to their garage-rock sound, and from the sound of this EP, its a welcome addition.
