Singles seems to be the flavor of the month for Florida metal trio Torche. They not only have a split single with Boris due out on July 13th, but, come September 21st via Hydra Head, they’ll share a brand new, singles-only EP as well. Aptly titled Songs For Singles, the eight-track, 20-minute effort is billed as a “super solid collection of singles… written by, and therefore in, the instantly appealing songwriting style developed by the band.”

For an early preview, check out Hydra Head’s recent free digital sampler, where a version of the EP’s lead track, “U.F.O.”, can be heard. The EP’s tracklisting and the band’s upcoming tour dates follow:
