Given that his genius collaboration with William Shatner has pushed back the release of his own solo album into 2005, some good news from Sony towers yesterday - Ben Folds has released a new EP called Super D and you can buy it from Recordstore.co.uk. The EP, the third of a trilogy of EPs Folds has released online in the last year, features three new tracks plus a cover of The Darkness track 'Get Your Hands Off My Woman' and a version of a wonderful early Ray Charles song called 'Them That Got' recorded live in Boston.
