4-track ep from 65daysofstatic: with two new and very different versions of the LP track of the same name from The Destruction of Small Ideas, plus two completely new songs.

The aftermath of the April 2007 release of their third full-length album, ‘The Destruction of Small Ideas’, saw 65daysofstatic fill the year with almost continuous touring: a headline tour of Europe, numerous festival appearances, and in July, their first ever US tour, with Fear Before The March of Flames. They returned to the USA in October to play the main stage at the Download festival in San Francisco, followed by another tour of Europe, playing to ever larger crowds.

2008 finds them solidly on the road for 5 months: February-March touring as special guests of The Cure all across Europe, and May-June again with The Cure all over North America, including Madison Square Garden, The Hollywood Bowl, Radio City Music Hall and Red Rocks, to name but a few stops along the way. And shoe-horned in between those, a month-long headline tour across Europe.

During their brief winter hiatus, the band went into the studio to record ‘The Distant and Mechanised Glow of East European Dance Parties’ EP to accompany their 2008 tour dates. Comprising two very different takes on the 'Destruction of Small Ideas' LP track of the same name, plus two completely new songs, ‘The Distant and Mechanised Glow of East European Dance Parties’ answers the question “what happens if we put these instruments down for a couple of seconds and create a 16 strong choir from our own under rehearsed voices?”
