Yeah guys! The fourth EP in the Explorers series is out today and it’s got PIANOS and SINGING and is TOTALLY PALATABLE! Here’s the cover:
And here’s the player so you can listen to it for free:
As usual it’s pay-what-you-like, with the minimum being absolutely nothing. It’s the most ambitious Explorers so far in terms of scope and attention to detail, and it’s a proper return to actual songwriting. Consider it, if you like, as a brief return home after explorin’ for a bit, to get ready for more adventures in the future. Hope you like it!

This is awesome! Another fine effort from the musical genius in you, Tom!!
Now, to decide what it's worth… Definitely something
oooh, i quite like toy. it's so pretty. i love the sound, as well as the epic solo around 2:50.
this is really good
I haven't listened to it yet, since I have to hurry and get ready for school, but the samples on the video were magnificient! Hopefully I can find an i-pod plug-thingie around here somewhere so I can listen to it through the day. We have a field trip today XD
<3 You,
Kyle
P.S. Idk if I just wasn't paying attention before, but thx alot for putting up the release date for this one. That soul act enabled me to wake up at 5:30 knowing I could dl this. ^____________^
Palatable? Delectable even!
Fantastic as usual Tom.
Peace Love & All That Jazz,
Devin
love the cover&music. as always, of course
You titillate me. Remember the days when we were young and in love?
*sighs* This makes me happy ^.^ but, alas, I shall have to wait until my ear infecton goes away to listen to it. Even the sound of typing hurts. Owchie :'(
IOU is amazing, it makes me really emotional… your amazing =]
In C is so so so so good, i can't stop listening to it!! You were amazing in bury st edmunds yesterday by the way!!!
I got Explorers 4 a couple of days ago, and I liked it so much that I came over here to find out more about you and your music, since I don't know very much from just being subscribed to you on youtube. I just wanted to say that I really like all the little David Foster Wallace references in in your blog posts, because that's exactly kind of thing that I would do. It's as if imitating our favorite writers brings us a little closer to them, you know? At least that's how it feels to me.
I'm really enjoying Explorers 4.
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I am sooo annoyed that I dont have a bank account and cannot donate money. But I really want to buy it!! I will get it for free but i will donate double on something else when I can

I like it. I listen to Explorers 1,2, and 4 when I ride my bike.
I just realized that all of the songs on this EP have 3-letter titles! (Excluding the brackets in “Toy”'s title.)
You have no idea how much this amazes me.
Was this simply a curious happenstance that fell from the sky, or, if not, at what point did you decide to make it so?
Also, the music is great. It will definitely take many more listens to appreciate.
I don’t know how often you respond to these but I’d really like to know if your middle initial is O and your initials were TOM which is also your name….
Are the lyrics posted anywhere? the songs are really cool!
I think I just spotted a small mistake in the lyrics for 'Toy' that are posted on the Bandcamp site. The line should be:
“Dot be happy, don't be sad,” and not the other way around.
In other news: Still enjoying the album very very much. Toy, In C and IOU are my favourite songs.
Ridiculously talented. Absolutely lovely. Makes me want to get off the computer and practice piano. So thanks!
Tom, this is amazing. It's quite likely that you just hurt my heart and stole my soul. Consider me a new devoted fan. Wish I had the money to buy this EP at full price today, but I don't. So I'm downloading it for free for now, and hoping that one day I can get an actual physical copy of your stuff. Keep it up, good sir.
I LOVE YOU TOM!!! Shame I can't get Explorers 4 because I'm poor
i love the cover…it's clever.
wow i love all your songs
wow i love all your songs
