Boston-area band The Way Ways — whose four members grew up together in southern Massachusetts — recorded their forthcoming EP, Caramel, during a week-long session in a little house in Putney, Vermont. Self-proclaimed gear nerds, the releases five tracks are shrewdly made, with strong, Walkmen-like melodies that sound full and warm.

Today, they're sharing "Saltine State," which guitarist/keyboardist/percussionist Patrick Fahey told The FADER over email is "a stripped down, scuzzy tune about growing older, accumulating debt, and getting drunk in the woods with your friends." Listen to the song below, and check out their record release show at Allston, MA's Great Scott on August 11.
