SLR EP Tracklist

Sad Looking Rocket my upcoming EP has a working tracklist right now... and it is rather long for an EP, but it doesn't have the cohesiveness of an LP, so I'm calling it an EP because it feels like it is just a collection of demos and in-progress songs, not final polished takes.

(for now) The Tracklist:

Move You (Intro)
Compromising
A Little Perspective
Fantastic Machines
SkullCrusher (v2)
Glory (v2)
Waiting for Malachai (v2)
Between Our Chemistry (v2)
Lavender's Blue
The Gnome
Skulls
3rd Planet

It is a mix of newer songs, which I might have a few others depending on how it all works out, and some reworkings of songs off of Amateur Fashion. Then there is something new that I never really done before: covers. I'm adding some covers for the fuck of it.

We were showing my daughter videos of nursery rhymes on youtube, and Lavender's Blue came up, and it has a really sweet, lovely melody and I wanted to learn it for her. I'm not sure if she likes it, but I do, so, you know, she can stuff it. Then I wanted to learn another song that has a nice nursery rhyme like melody, but that might also introduce her to a wider range of music that classic nursery rhymes won't expose her to, so I'm trying to learn the Gnome by Pink Floyd (well, mostly Syd Barrett, that era of Floyd should just be called Barrett and Friends), which is unexpectedly hard song to learn. Strange chord progressions in some parts. I had previously learned Skulls and 3rd Planet, which are also simple songs with catchy melodies and fit well within my unintentionally set parameters. So, there are the four songs I'm going to try to play for Rhyleigh whenever she can sit still enough and watch me play.

And that concludes the exceedingly long tracklist for Sad Looking Rocket. An EP in three parts, essentially.
