According to stereogum.com, rock band Boygenius have announced a surprise EP called The Rest and the delightful news follows after the band performed the first track “Black Hole” at their sold out Boston show on September 25.

To be released on October 13 by Interscope, the four track EP is an expansion of Boygenius‘s critically acclaimed debut album The Record. Produced by the band, Tony Berg, Jake Finch, Ethan Gruska, Calvin Lauber, Collin Pastore and Marshall Vore, The Rest continues to showcase Boygenius’s songwriting prowess and distinct sound.

As for the live performance of  “Black Hole,” the song is wonderful by how the instrumentation shakes the background with vibrant pop and rock sound while the vocal performances dazzle the audience with bittersweet harmony and melody.
