John Cale's first release in six years is a playful EP teaser for a full-length coming in 2012; it finds him further exploring the deconstructed electronic productions and mechanized power pop heard on 2005's Black Acetate but it sometimes descends into cringe-inducing silliness.

On his new EP, Extra Playful, John Cale's doing what he does best, which is toying with pop-rock sounds and structures.
