Fans of Tampa’s Merchandise have plenty to be happy about these days. The band’s 4AD Records debut, After the End, received a warm reception, and a sophomore effort is due next month.

What’s more is that frontman Carson Cox released a spot of material with side project Death Index, while David Vassalotti, Merchandise’s guitarist, stayed busy this year, too.

In January, Vassalotti — who headlines a show at Seminole Heights clothing boutique Frolic Exchange next week — introduced us to the follow up to 2011’s Book of Ghosts, by releasing the strangely optimistic “Ines De Castro,” a lo-fi cut pushed along by some drum sequencing and big feedback. Another track from the Broken Rope LP, “Lady Day Redux,” is another gentle reminder that one of the best guitarists in the country is making a quiet life for himself right here in our neck of the woods.

Listen to "Ines De Castro" below. More information on the show is available at CL's events calendar.
