Lo-Pan Announces "In Tensions" EP Release

Lo-Pan's fifth release, "In Tensions," is a new five-song EP that sees the seasoned Columbus, Ohio unit continuing a blistering trajectory of building on the infectious, riff-filled grooves of 2014 full-length, "Colossus."

The band's first release on Brooklyn's Aqualamb Records, "In Tensions" also marks the next stage in the band's ever-evolving direction - anchored by the lead single "Go West," an optimistic, sun-kissed, open highway anthem.

Regarding the song, singer Jeff Martin elaborates, "It's about setting out to accomplish a goal and then having that goal change along the way. And ultimately realizing the new goal was better than what you wanted in the first place."

A perfect rallying cry for action in uncertain times, Martin continues, "it's also about getting out and doing something.... So keep moving forward. Keeping progressing. Keep evolving."

Lo-Pan's "In Tensions" will be released on 10-inch vinyl limited to 500 copies and accompanied by a one-hundred-page book featuring artwork by Chris Smith of Grey Aria Design as well tour diaries, flyers, and a complete collection lyrics from previous releases. The album's track listing is as follows:

1. Go West
2. Sink Or Swim
3. Long Live The King
4. Alexis
5. Pathfinder
