Alternative rock threaded with post-rock geometry and shoegaze weather systems surges through Ivy to Fraudulent Game’s four-track EP eff. The title is not random keyboard debris: it deliberately reconnects the band with its earliest self-produced release, =eff, turning this new record into a source-code callback after their 15th-anniversary era. Old circuitry, new voltage.
The EP contains 八月 (Hachigatsu – “August”), HIGHLIGHT, おはやう世界 (Ohayō Sekai – “Good Morning, World”) and 美しき哉,絶望 (Utsukushiki Kana Zetsubō – “How Beautiful, Despair”). Originally issued exclusively at concert venues on May 30, eff reached streaming services on July 29, 2026. HIGHLIGHT converts photographic overexposure into an emotional metaphor for feelings pushed beyond the sensor’s limits—essentially existential clipping with the gain knob snapped off.
