Lets be honest band album number 8 'I'll Be Your Girl' was pretty disappointing and probably their worst release and so it was with some hesitation I checked out this EP which came out towards the end of 2018 which is a sharp twenty-one minutes of songs that were recorded during the I’ll Be Your Girl sessions but never quite found a home on the album those sessions produced.
There are some okay moments here and it gives an opportunity fix 'I'll Be Your Girl' and make it a better album
Out: the simply terrible 3 some that come consecutively late in the album starting with the awful "Everything Is Awful" , followed by "Suckers Punch" and the excruciating "We All Die Young"
In from 'Travelling On' EP: the rather good "Down On The Knuckle" , the ok "I Will Not Say Your Name" and the not necessarily good "Travelling On" but included as ANYTHING is better than "We All Die Young"
Note: EP track 4 "Midlist Author" is poor
Leaving the following improved "I'll Be Your Girl" Mark II
(1) Down On The Knuckle
(2) Severed
(3) Starwatcher
(4) Cutting Stone
(5) Once In My Life
(6) I Will Not Say Your Name
(7) Tripping Along
(8) Your Ghost
(9) Rusalka, Rusalka/Wild Rushes
(10) I'll Be Your Girl
(11) Travelling On
Better ?
Yep
