"Be Fool" part 1.5
Call it what you will, these are the tracks that were too shit and self-indulgent to make the album.

Recorded alongside the band's magnum octopus "Be Fool", and their now-classic EP "I, Idiot", this mini-album represents the final leftovers of Elmo and the Styx's ambitious 2016 recordings.

These 9 tracks were improvised from scratch over the period of about an hour on a lovely Sunday afternoon - the perfect cure to a stressful morning of bass overdubs.

This strange, oft-overlooked side of the band is now available for free download. Please also check out its parent album "Be Fool", if you haven't already.
