The songs, titled “Phoning It In,” “Crate Amp,” “Success!” and “Welcome to the Hotel,” are streaming now via Way’s Soundcloud.
“With all this uncertainty I just wanted to start uploading some unreleased stuff,” Way writes in an Instagram post. “Just so people can check it out and have something to listen to.”
Way adds that he’s referring to the collection of tracks as “Distraction or Despair.”
“That seems to be the two things I keep shifting between,” he says. “Probably a lot of other people too. But I think only some of the tracks are tied to an ‘album’ of that name. I’m just winging it, keeping it casual.”
Way released his one and, so far, only solo album, Hesitant Alien, in 2014.
Meanwhile, My Chem’s U.S. reunion tour is scheduled to kick off in September. They’ve already had to postpone dates in Japan, Australia and New Zealand due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
