Serj Tankian Releases New Single ‘Elasticity’ And EP Release Date

---

System Of A Down frontman Serj Tankian has released the title track from his upcoming EP ‘Elasticity’. Check out the new track below.

Tankian’s new EP is set to release on March 19 via Alchemy Recordings. The five-track EP were song ideas originally intended to be used on a new System Of A Down album however, the band couldn’t “see eye to eye” and thus cancelled the album.

“As we weren’t able to see eye to eye on the vision going forward with an SOAD album, I decided to release these songs under my moniker” Tankian explained.

Here’s the tracklist:
1. ‘Elasticity’
2. ‘Your Mom’
3. ‘Rumi’
4. ‘How Many Times?’
5. ‘Electric Yerevan’

“Originally I had these songs in mind for a System record if we were to end up doing a System record,” Tankian told Spin last year. “But as we could not really see eye to eye on how to go forward with that I decided to finish them off myself and release them as an EP.”

“I always have random rock tracks done at different times and I sit on them. And then one day the right project or right idea for releasing them will come along. They all have piano or synthesisers, which is a little different than the four-person crew with System, although we had some synths as well.”

“It’s got stuff that’s really heavy, heavy and there’s a funny aspect and then there’s a song about my son. It kind of runs the gauntlet on diversity of thematic expression: political, non-political. I guess that’s always been me, all over the place.”

“I think I’m gonna call it Elasticity just because I wanted to do it with System and it didn’t happen. For me, it’s not Toxicity but it is Toxicity. That’s what I’m thinking of calling it. I haven’t finalised it, but that’s what I’m thinking of calling it. We’ll probably put it out later this year.”
