The Constantines have unveiled a digital companion EP for their 2008 full length Kensington Heights. Recorded at the Bathouse Recording Studio in Kingston, Ontario, Too Slow For Love features four alternate, stripped down versions of tracks from Kensington Heights, an a rework track from both Tournament of Hearts and Shine A Light. The set is rounded out by a cover of "Strange Birds" by the Sadies and Jon Langford (the Mekons / Waco Brothers). Click below for details on the EP, which is currently available packaged with Kensington Heights for a cool six bucks from the Arts & Crafts webstore.

The release comes in time for this year's revival of the Rolling Tundra Revue. That cross-Canada tour, co-headlined by the Weakerthans, kicks off this Thursday in St. John's Newfoundland.

I going to see them, but I'm more excited to see the Weakerthans. I've seen the Constantines twice in the last year or so. That EP doesn't look too exciting either.
