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: Unfortunately, cool nuclear tech isn't well developed/deployed because people are utter dodecahedra about it and most regulation is bad.
gollark: The energy cost is similar regardless of where the computers are if idle power is low.
gollark: But most people don't actually care, visibly.
gollark: I don't think million-qubit things exist and there are fundamental physical limits on stuff.
gollark: I don't really like cloud stuff for privacy reasons and because it stops me from getting lots of cool hardware as used.
