Madder Rose want to stay in your consciousness even though they won't have another album out for some time. Thus, they've released this 4-track EP to help keep their buzz alive. The title track, perhaps not surprisingly as it's a cover, has a very definite 70s r&b/pop feel to it - coulda come right from a 70s radio broadcast. The other cover (track 4) sounds like a higher-pitched Chrissie Hynde ballad. The original tracks (2&3) come a little closer to the band's regular sound, which is a slightly edgy noise-pop sort of thang.
