After logging two years with Le Loup, singer/guitarist May Tabol left the lineup and launched her own project, eschewing the bombastic sounds of her former band for a blend of homespun folk and quirky, fanciful pop. Members of Exit Clov and These United States joined her for the recording of A Chopping Block, a five-song EP that marked Pree's official debut in 2009, and Tabol assembled a permanent lineup to support the album on tour. ~ Andrew Leahey
