ground, Mead and Goss were not afraid to make a change to keep the band going. "Baycation," to them, captures the youthful contentedness they have experienced in San Francisco since relocating, "repping San Francisco" in the sound and album title, Goss said.

Mammoth Life will release a green vinyl pressing of "Baycation" through the Lawrence label Satisfying Records, which released Mammoth Life's previous self-titled album in 2013. "Baycation" will also be released on cassette tape through the label Weiner Records in Fullerton, Calif., an imprint of the larger independent label Burger Records. The EP begins with the fully charged "Saturday In The City", a windows-down track that features Mead's powerful but refined voice accompanied by escalating guitar work from Goss. The title choice was influenced by the band's location.
"Baycation' is just a permanent vacation lifestyle in the Bay Area, basically," Goss said.
"With' Saturday In The City,' everyone refers to San Francisco as 'the city' out here," Goss said.
Just as energetic and vitamin-D drenched as the first track, "Lights Out" keeps the dreamy, '80s-tinged indie-rock alive. Mead's ethereal vocals have an edge to them in "Something In Between."
The song's dream-pop chorus and vocal reverb makes for a great moment on the EP.

The album concludes with the darker, synth-driven "This Moment." Goss's guitar soars as the track develops.
Perhaps an EP first envisioned looking out a window at the Bay Bridge, "Baycation" is a short but sweet release that fans of the band can enjoy in their car rides.
"Baycation" is only the latest chapter for Mammoth Life, and the chemistry between Goss and Mead as songwriters should continue.
As far as San Francisco?
"We're staying here for as long as we can," Goss said. "We love this place."

GOODLAND FROM
throughout the house. There's even a pet spider they call Gary. Members of Rockhaven live and work like any other group of friends — the only difference is that they're trying to make a feature-length film.
The studio's first feature-length film, "Goodland," will begin production in October. Rockhaven has done shorts and commercial work in the past, but "Goodland" is the biggest project that its ever been involved with.
"Goodland" is funded mostly by Rockhaven itself, but the studio has had a hard time trying to find the last $12,000 it needed to make the film.
"Goodland" is a crime-thrill.
"We decided that this is what we wanted to do and it's hard to get someone to invest in a first time filmmaker, especially if he demands surrounding himself with first timers," Doke said. "It's a hard sell, even if someone likes your script."
er set in a fictional version of Doke's hometown.
The plot revolves around strangers who show up in the small town on the same day a dead body is found. The death seems to be an accident, but the town's sheriff doesn't think so.
The film's producer, J.S. Hampton, said the question about violence being used for "the greater good" hooked him.
"What attracted me to the script is that it's a lot of gray area. You don't necessarily know who's good and who's bad at some points," Hampton said. "At the end [of the film]
even when you see everything going on, it's still gray, and I think that's how people are, living in the grey area."
Doke and Rockhaven started a Kickstarter campaign to seek extra funding. Seven days from its deadline, the campaign is roughly $1,300 away from its goal.
"I was a little questionable about the Kickstarter, but J [Hampton] told me a number we had to hit, and if we didn't hit we were running a Kickstarter," Doke said. "We're not there yet, but I'm confident we'll hit our mark."
