SKORTS - MUSE AND THE MARQUEE
New York City’s SKORTS release their new EP Muse and the Marquee. Seeing this grouping of songs as a bookend on the era of their debut album, Incompletement, the 6 new offerings cover a lot of sonic ground and leave no experimental stone unturned. The band wanted to ensure they said everything they had to say before shifting gears into creating their second record.
SKORTS shares, “ ‘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.”
To celebrate the release of their EP and to close out the year with their community, SKORTS will host a release show on November 19 at Saint Vitus. The night will also feature music from Paper Lady and Truman Flyer. Earlier this year, SKORTS supported Brigitte Calls Me Baby on a sold-out U.S. tour before heading overseas for a run of European shows and their first UK tour. Most recently, they performed at Iron Blossom and O Positive Festival.
