The EP includes tracks such as “Little Thoughts,” “Tulips,” “Storm and Stress,” “Helicopter,” and “Skeleton,” along with the bonus track “Tulips (Minotaur).”
The songs “Little Thoughts” and “Tulips” were released as a double A-side single in 2004. The track “Little Thoughts” would later appear in certain versions and reissues of their debut album “Silent Alarm,” while “Tulips” was subsequently released as a standalone single in the United States.
The EP will be available exclusively on Record Store Day, taking place on April 12. The event will showcase hundreds of exclusive releases offered by more than 270 independent record stores across the UK and thousands globally.
