New York City band SKORTS announce their new EP Muse and the Marquee, out 13 November, alongside new single ‘Bad Habit’. The follow-up to their debut album Incompletement, the six-track EP closes the book on that era while building a bridge to what comes next.
“‘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.”

‘Bad Habit’ reveals a softer, dreamier side of SKORTS, finding a heartfelt sweetness in the haze. The band shares:
“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.”
