After a long hiatus, TESTUBE returned from the outer limits of electro with the Covert EP, an intriguing approach at vocal-driven "experimental pop". Intermittently composting gritty abstract rhythms and industrial glitch sampling into a slightly more accessible framework of dark electro-pop, the Covert EP serves as an appropriate teaser for the upcoming TESTUBE full length titled Off Purpose. This version of the release was offered as a free 5-track EP from Glim Records.

** Additional bonus remixes by R010R, LOWHERO.DLL, DIGITAL DIRT HEADS, TYPE001, and PTYL are available on the 10-track "extended EP" version of the disc.
