So I guess that those previous singles where an EP and this is now a different rollout? Either way, interesting. Have really come to love Okapi and Mourning The Dawn. Camille's new look will definitely take some getting used to. Coda is REALLY damn fun, very dance gavin dance, that bridge was really nice and unexpected. K.O. is more of that gorgeous angelic melodicism from the likes of Okapi. All in all, very good, Novelists are actually good now, who'd a thunk it.

Pretty sure Okapi isn't an EP. The band has never announced it as one.



KO might be they're best track post-Matteo.

Coda is fun but pretty typical until the bridge where it does get more interesting. KO is very pretty but again I'm missing the technical but melodic OG Novelists riffing.



I don't love everything these guys are doing nowadays but I love Camille's singing, and the screams are improving.

Don't request it to be deleted again Get Low, you're wrong, take the L. Why in gods name would it not be an EP. They're not going to drop another album that's going to magically have those songs on there.

"They're not going to drop another album that's going to magically have those songs on there."



I know. They're just four individual singles. I even looked at the Wikipedia edit history back to when they added it to their page as an EP, and bro left a note that was like "yeah I think this is kinda sorta an EP but I'm not sure".



Spotify for the last couple of years - and now evidently Apple Music is doing this too - are collectivising singles that are released in a proximate time frame with one another and grouping them as EPs, which has gone unchecked and is causing all kinds of confusion.

The new album is gonna be ten tracks. You know what that means...



five songs, five interludes



Oh yeah, and they've already released the closer, which will be KO.



I still love this band but jfc their rollouts are whack as fuck.
