NYC alternative rock group Skorts will deliver a collection of new music next month.
Announced today, the band’s Muse and the Marquee EP will be released on November 13. The six-track release features previously released singles “Amy” and “Headrush.” To celebrate the announcement, the band unveiled the new single “Bad Habit.” The band said this about the new EP and song, which can be heard below:
“‘Muse and the Marquee’ is a collection of songs we had floating around before and during the recording of our debut album 'Incompletement'. Although 4 of the 6 songs were not recorded until after the release of the 'Incompletement', the new EP feels more like an extension of the first record than a stride towards the next. You can expect 6 very different types of songs on the new EP. A rainbow of flavors if you will! From heavy doom to perhaps dreamy adult-contemporary??? There is probably something for everyone to like and dislike on this EP and we couldn't be happier about it.
It's definitely a tone shift from the other singles but ‘Bad Habit’ felt like the most natural 3rd release off the EP. ‘Headrush’ and ‘Amy’ are such 'rock songs' and while they are strong representations of our sound, we want to get people used to the fact that we are going to play anything. We play loud but we also play and write these softer, dreamier songs.”
Skorts will hold the EP release show on November 19 at Saint Vitus Bar. Paper Lady and Truman Flyer will also perform at the show. Tickets for the 21+ show are on sale to the general public right now here. Pre-saves for the EP can be found here.
