Kings Of Leon have announced that they will release a four-track EP titled ‘EP#2’ on Friday (November 7).
In a social media post this evening (November 5), the Nashville band shared the tracklisting for the release, which consists of ‘All The Little Sheep’, ‘To Space’, ‘Pit To The Rind’ and ‘The Wolf’.
They confirmed that ‘EP#2’ will be available from 12am local time on Friday and fans can pre-order/pre-save their copy here.
The post also includes the EP’s artwork and a brief clip of new music, which includes a chugging riff and Caleb Followill singing, “All aboard”.
The news comes after other Instagram posts from the band in recent days that showed them together in the studio apparently working on new music. “Thrills to chase, bills to pay, mouths to feed” was the caption to one post on Tuesday (November 4).
Kings Of Leon most recent new album was 2024’s ‘Can We Please Have Fun’, their ninth full-length record. NME awarded it three stars, noting: “This is easily KOL’s most promising, liberated record for over a decade but still surprisingly restrained in places. Can they have fun? Yes it appears, in places, but they could have had a whole lot more.”
Frontman Caleb Followill told NME about that album’s inspiration last year. “With this record,” he explained, “I was like: ‘Alright, big boy, it’s time to be a songwriter… I wanted people to feel the passion that went into [this album] and the honest, blue-collar hard work. We live in Music City, where the man next to you in the grocery store could be wearin’ overalls and you have no idea that he wrote the biggest country song in history.”
In August, they also released the single ‘We’re Onto Something’, with guest vocals from Zach Bryan, having also contributed to his song ‘Bowery’ this summer.
The band were forced to cancel a run of UK and European shows earlier this year after Caleb was involved in a “freak accident” when he broke his foot while playing with his kids. They returned to the stage in July.
