From the official press release: “Grammy-award winning rock band Switchfoot will release a 3-song digital EP titled Fading West EP on September 17 on Atlantic Records/Word. The EP will feature tracks from the upcoming full-length album, Fading West, set for release on January 14th, including “Who We Are,” “Love Alone Is Worth the Fight,” and “Ba55.” A special physical edition of the EP will be available only on Switchfoot’s fall tour and will feature “Fading West,” a bonus track that will not be included on the full album.

From a Switchfoot e-mail! “First up, we are almost finished with our new record! That’s right, our ninth studio album, “Fading West”, is being mixed as we speak (or type). We have never worked so hard on a project, nor traveled so far for inspiration, than we did to create this record. These songs are full of heart, hope, sweat, and saltwater. And we are thrilled to announce that you will be hearing them sooner than you may think. On Sept 17, we are releasing an EP with 3 album tracks (and one exclusive b-side on the physical version), available at switchfoot.com and on our fall tour. The EP is also part of a “complete my album” for the full length, so when the album is released on January 14, you will automatically receive a complete download of the remaining tracks. P.S. The B-side happens to be the title track that started this whole thing: “Fading West”!”
