Please Transpose is the third and final extended play by the Philippine alternative rock band Eraserheads (credited as Eheads). Released in August 2002, it was self-produced by the band with their new vocalist Kris Gorra-Dancel, who joined the group after Ely Buendia left earlier that year.
Eraserheads released their seventh studio album Carbon Stereoxide in March 2001. [1] Vocalist Ely Buendia left the band a year later, having missed two live shows, with drummer Raimund Marasigan filling in for him. [2] The band later debuted with a new vocalist, Kris Gorra-Dancel of Fatal Posporos, at Hard Rock Manila in April. [3]
The band had considered changing their name but decided to wait. "It gets more gigs than a new name,” Marasigan explained. “We don't need to prove anything by getting a new name. We earned the name." [3]
The EP features five new songs intended to gauge interest for an upcoming album with Gorra-Dancel under a new name. [4] “U Make Me” was released as the lead single, with a Dogme 95-inspired music video directed by Marie Jamora [4] [5] and featuring camerawork from Sandwich vocalist Marc Abaya and filmmakers Joe Fab and Quark Henares. [6] The EP also features re-recordings of Eraserheads songs “Paru-parong Ningning” from Cutterpillow (1995) and “Dahan Dahan” from Natin99 (1999). [6]
The title refers to the band having to perform their songs in a higher key due to Gorra-Dancel’s vocal range. [6] [3]
The EP was distributed to a small group of industry insiders and friends at a listening party at Butch Dans's studio in August. [6]
Adoro left the band in November, and the planned album was scrapped. [6] Instead, the band recruited Ebe Dancel of Sugarfree and Diego Mapa of Monsterbot and renamed the band Cambio. [7] They later released their debut album Derby Light in 2004. [8]
