Gay? is a 1996 EP released by 12 Rods.[3]

Critical reception

AllMusic wrote that the EP "documents a formative stage in the band's evolution, as the songs here hint at space-country, ambient synth textures, and jazzy, quiet storm-influenced adult contemporary."[1]

gollark: You could have *most* things work causally but just hardcode a rule which lets me have time machines.
gollark: Why? Causality is irritating. I want a time machine.
gollark: Since, IIRC, you cannot charge more to credit card users, and they charge transaction fees, this effectively works as a really indirected tax on all products ever.
gollark: In the UK, there are better consumer protections on credit cards for what I am sure are horrific historical reasons.
gollark: Brevity good, actually.
