'Don't Try' and 'Pinkish' were released for Record Store Day

Gerard Way has shared a pair of new tracks called 'Don't Try' and 'Pinkish'.

The former My Chemical Romance frontman released the tracks on Record Store Day over the weekend, having previously explained that they mark the end of his campaign for debut solo album Hesitant Alien.

"This week I get to finish 'Don't Try' and 'Pinkish' for a special release we are working on. Will be a nice way to close the HA chapter," he tweeted in November.

Way had given 'Pinkish' its live debut at a gig in Kiev, Ukraine a couple of months earlier.
