'''''Chasing Shadows''''' is the third [EP](/source/Extended_play) by American [alternative rock](/source/alternative_rock) band [Angels & Airwaves](/source/Angels_%26_Airwaves), released on April 8, 2016, through [To the Stars](/source/To_the_Stars_(company)).[{{cite magazine|author=James Grebey |url=http://www.spin.com/2016/04/tom-delonge-new-angels-airwaves-ep-chasing-shadows-stream-download/ |title=Tom DeLonge Releases New Angels & Airwaves EP to Go Along With His Book About Aliens |magazine=Spin |date=April 5, 2016 |accessdate=June 21, 2016}}] Similar to the ''[...Of Nightmares](/source/...Of_Nightmares)'' EP, ''Chasing Shadows'' is a companion piece to the first book in the ''Sekret Machines'' series, co-written by [Tom DeLonge](/source/Tom_DeLonge) and [A. J. Hartley](/source/A._J._Hartley). Along with the EP is a planned documentary series.[{{cite journal|author=Carolyn Menyes |url=http://www.musictimes.com/articles/64351/20160204/tom-delonge-blink-182-transmedia-extraterrestrial-series-sekret-machines.htm |title=Tom DeLonge Announces New Angels & Airwaves Music, Extraterrestrial Series 'Sekret Machines' |journal=Music Times |date=April 5, 2016 |accessdate=June 21, 2016}}] DeLonge described the novel as the "outcome of many secret meetings across the United States with government officials" and compared the music to the band's earlier material.[{{cite web|url=https://www.loudersound.com/news/angels-airwaves-stream-chasing-shadows-ep |title=Angels & Airwaves stream Chasing Shadows EP|website=[Louder Sound](/source/Metal_Hammer)|last=O'Neill|first=Christina|date=April 6, 2016|accessdate=September 22, 2019}}]
The sound of the EP steps away from the more [electronic](/source/Electronic_music) elements of the band into more guitar-driven [rock](/source/Rock_music), leading many to compare the songs to the sound of DeLonge's original band [Blink-182](/source/Blink-182), which he returned to in late 2022.[{{cite web|url=https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/71448/Angels-and-Airwaves-Chasing-Shadows/|title=Angels and Airwaves - Chasing Shadows (album review)|website=Sputnikmusic|date=August 16, 2016|accessdate=September 22, 2019}}] The band live debuted the track "Overload" at the first show of their comeback tour in 2019 at Solana Beach alongside debut performances of many tracks from the band's previous album ''[The Dream Walker](/source/The_Dream_Walker)''.[{{cite web|url=https://consequence.net/2019/08/angels-airwaves-tour-launch-kiss-tell/|title=Angels & Airwaves kick off first tour in seven years, debut new song "Kiss & Tell": Stream|website=[Consequence of Sound](/source/Consequence_of_Sound)|last=Young|first=Alex|date=August 29, 2019|access-date=September 22, 2019}}]
