Elasticity EP (Color)

Serj Tankian’s new solo EP, Elasticity, features songs originally conceived for another System Of A Down record, but have now been fully realized as a solo release. With his trademark eclecticism and one-of-a-kind vocal style, Serj delivers a collection that runs the gamut from hard-driving, electronically enhanced anthems like the title track, a rallying cry for his beloved Armenia (Electric Yerevan), the tongue-in-cheek political mash-up of Your Mom, the piano-laden How Many Times? and Rumi, a song that Serj wrote both about his son Rumi and Rumi the poet.
