ZZ Top Readies New ‘Texicali’ EP For Release Next Week

By Jesse Capps on May 30, 2012

ZZ TOP will give fans a preview of their forthcoming studio album when they release Texicali on Tuesday, June 5th. The EP will include four tracks off their upcoming Rick Rubin-produced opus: ‘I Gotsta Get Paid’, ‘Chartreuse’, ‘Over You’ and ‘Consumption’.

“Based on the visibility of the ‘Gotsta Get Paid’ song, we decided to make available more of a taste of the album than just the one song,” American’s Rubin told Musicradar.com. “That’s the beauty of the new digital landscape; we can put out what we want when we want, in the best service of the artist.”

Adds Billy Gibbons: “We were itching to get some new music out before the full album release. Making available these four tracks seems like a good way to accomplish that most expeditiously. Dusty, Frank and I are happy with what’s been accomplished in the studio, so we figured we’d provide some hot and tasty ‘hors d’oeuvres’ before the main course is served this fall.”

All four tracks will be previewed through an audio stream at Rollingstone.com for one day only, Monday, June 4.
