Elasticity

2020, The Year Of Our Pandemic: A year of social unrest, police violence, and a monumental US election. The year of COVID-19 and its mounting death toll. A massive explosion and mass death in Lebanon. Political upheaval in Belarus. A spiraling world economy. Global protests. If ever a stage was set for new music from Serj Tankian, this is it. With his trademark eclecticism and one-of-a-kind vocal style, Serj delivers "Elasticity," a five-song EP that runs the gamut from hard-driving, electronically enhanced anthems like the title track to rallying cries for his beloved Armenia ("Electric Yerevan") to the tongue-in-cheek political mash-up of "Your Mom." "Elasticity" is comprised of songs originally intended for System Of A Down. But it didn't quite work out that way. The EP will delight fans of System who have waited a long time for new music.
