Today, Jeff Ament has released a surprise 7" EP called American Death Squad. It features five songs:
Piano - Side A: 1. The Divine Perfume 2. No Papers
Guitar - Side B: 1. Loss Leaders 2. Killer 3. Revenge
“In the days following the postponement of our tour, I found it necessary to find an outlet for the energy we had created going into the tour. Pivot was the word of March. So, every morning, I retreated to the studio with the goal of writing a song every day, no matter how shite. Days of isolating and watching the news of the destruction courtesy the virus (and the ineptitude of our leadership or as named here, the American Death Squad) made for vivid dreams and a helplessness. These were some of the first songs out of the gate. Raw and succinct.” -Jeff Ament.You can order the EP from the Ten Club for $10 (+$7 domestic S&H), or stream it on several services.
Or enjoy the video of the first song, The Divine Perfume.
