Willis Earl Beal launched a sneak attack EP today, dropping a 5-track download of new material titled Principles of The Protagonist via BitTorrent. The music is apparently intended to soundtrack an animated short film of the same name, which will debut on his site www.willisearlbeal.com later this month. Grab the songs below and catch the (super-short) trailer for the film after the jump.
