ZZ Top To Release New EP

ZZ Top are set to release a four track EP that will be a taster of their forthcoming brand new album.


The Texicali EP will be released digitally on the 5th of June and it follows the appearance of the band's new song, I Gotsta Get Paid which features on an online advert for Jeremiah Weed.


The EP will include four tracks off their upcoming album, which is produced by Rick Rubin.


The track listing is as follows:


  • I Gotsta Get Paid
  • Chartreuse
  • Over You
  • Consumption


In recent interviews, Rick Rubin talked about the record, saying:


"Based on the visibility of the Gotsta Get Paid song, we decided to make available more of a taste of the album than just the one song. That's the beauty of the new digital landscape; we can put out what we want when we want, in the best service of the artist."


Guitarist, Billy Gibbons said:


"We were itching to get some new music out before the full album release. Making available these four tracks seems like a good way to accomplish that most expeditiously. Dusty, Frank and I are happy with what's been accomplished in the studio, so we figured we'd provide some hot and tasty 'hors d'oeuvres' before the main course is served this fall."
