The artwork was actually done by Daniel P. Carter of Radio 1, who often debuts Frank Iero And The Patience songs on his show. How cute?!
Unfortunately the EP is not available for pre-order in the US yet, according to Hassle Records. However, if you're in the UK, you can pre-order it at this link.
US fans: the EP is currently not available for pre-order outside of Europe. Please stay tuned for updates and thank you for your patience. ��

4. You Are My Sunshine
The reason behind the EP release is that Frank and the guys had the opportunity to work with legendary Steve Albini, Iero told Kerrang.
“When we were done touring .STOMACHACHES., I talked to my manager, Paul, about what we should do. I had my bucket list and one of the things on there was to work with Steve Albini. Paul asked how long I’d wanted to work with Steve and I was like, ‘Since I was, like, 11!’ I wanted to make a Steve Albini record! Paul said he’d call him and I was like, ‘You can’t do that… that would be weird. Don’t do it.’ And he was like, ‘That’s my job!’” Iero told the music source.
“He called him, Steve said he could do it and he had three days. Next phone call I made was U-Haul; I fuckin’ packed the U-Haul up and drove the band to Chicago. I got to record an EP with my friends and one of my heroes in this, like, giant firehouse building in Chicago. The EP is this missing link between .STOMACHACHES. and Parachutes. It’s everything I wanted it to be. It’s fuckin’ awesome!”
