New York-based Alt-Punk trio For Lack of a Term have released their new EP, Not Quite You. Conceptually, the EP explores themes of “lost love, relationship struggles and personal growth.” The song particularly deals with the idea that “Sometimes when you evolve as a person, you leave behind the things and the people that once felt most comfortable and familiar to you.”

The band shares about the EP:

This EP’s about the five stages of grief when it comes to the life and death of a relationship and it’s about personal growth. The clarity that comes after separating from something toxic, it was adjacent to things each of us were experiencing or have experienced at one point or another. However, out of poor circumstance we created something beautiful with the assistance of our friend Sam Stauff. We are proud to present ‘Not Quite You.’

Prior to their EP release, they released two singles from the project, “Chemistry Imbalance” and “Heartbeat.” Both tracks are “designed to tell a connected story about the emotional push and pull of holding on to a relationship that’s already fallen apart.” The EP was recorded and produced fully independently.

EP tracklisting:

1.    Chemistry Imbalance

2.    Now & Forever

3.    Big Mad
