Six Tracks EP is an EP released by Tony Molina on Matador Records in 2013.

Contents

True to its name, Six Tracks EP contains six songs on a 7" single, all but one of them under 90 seconds long. All songs were written by Molina, except for the last track, Orion, a Metallica cover.

Release

The EP was part of Matador's "Singles Going Home Alone" series, a subscription series that sent subscribers a new 7" vinyl record every month, plus a 13th single at the end of the year.[1] This series included releases by Superchunk, Mission of Burma, and Steve Gunn.[2]

The first single released from Six Tracks EP was "Breakin' Up," which Pitchfork's Lindsay Zoladz described as "economical" and a "power-pop gem."[3][4] Stereogum's reviewer praised the song, writing that it "stuffs so much feeling (not to mention a great guitar solo) into such a short run time that it totally justifies many, many replays."[1] Spin's reviewer described the song as "a 90-second slice of power-pop genius."[5]

Post-release tours

Molina toured with Fucked Up to promote the EP in October 2013.[3] In 2014, he toured with Against Me! throughout the United States.[6]
