[edit] History
After being released from his contract with 4AD, His Name Is Alive frontman Warren Defever took a while to reconsider the group's future. While some HNIA releases did appear on his Time Stereo label between 2002 and 2005, this output was mostly older live recordings and a few experimental projects released on cassette and CD-R. The Raindrops Rainbow EP marked the first major release from the band since Last Night in 2002. Originally released exclusively through the iTunes music store, the EP also later appeared as a promotional CD on Defever's new Silver Mountain Media label.
The EP served as a preview of 2006's Detrola, introducing new vocalist Andy FM, cousin of former HNIA singer Karin Oliver. With two new songs, and re-recorded versions of two older HNIA songs, the EP found the band somewhat returning to their roots, and was well-received by many fans who had been disappointed with the soul and R&B sound of the band's final two 4AD releases.
[edit] Track listing
