Set for release next Friday (November 14), the six-track offering will join recent digital-only singles – including ‘Something Loud’, ‘Place Your Debts’, a cover of Crooked Fingers’ ‘Call to Love’ featuring Bethany Cosentino and more – with the previously unreleased ‘Failure’.
Marking the Arizona quartet’s first new track since 2023’s ‘Telepath’, the song was originally recorded in 2019 for the ‘Surviving’ album sessions, and comes engineered and mixed by the band Failure’s co-founder and vocalist, Ken Andrews.
Reflecting on the songs that ultimately made it onto the EP, frontman Jim Adkins said: “By 2021, it felt like distancing restrictions were finally easing and we could get back on the road. Our ‘Surviving’ album had barely been released before we were performing live again and reconnecting with fans.”
“Coming out of the pandemic,” he continued, “it didn’t feel right to tour without offering something more, so we took the chance to share a few more tracks we’d been working on. At the time, it seemed like listeners were gravitating toward playlists rather than full albums, so we decided to meet them where they were.”
The ‘Something(s) Loud’ EP will drop via the band’s own Exotic Location Recordings. Standard vinyl and a limited number of signed copies are available for pre-order here.
Following the success of their 2021 global livestream series, the Phoenix Sessions, the band reconnected with co-director Keith Koenig at Distiller Works for the ‘Failure’ music video, the 90s skate style of which to the band’s formative years in Arizona.
The ‘Something(s) Loud’ tracklist is:
‘Something Loud’
‘Failure’
‘Place Your Debts’
‘Something Loud (Acoustic Version)’
‘Call To Love” (Feat. Bethany Cosentino)’
‘Place Your Debts (TW Walsh Remix)’
Jimmy Eat World’s last full-length project was 2019’s ‘Surviving‘. In a three-star review of the LP, NME shared: “This album explores some of the different kinds of weights my ego tells me I have to carry… They came up among a crop of bands intent on mining nostalgia and living relentlessly in the past, but the group’s bold, brave steps forward are welcome.”
