Trait is the sole extended play by American industrial rock band Pailhead. The original EP was released in 1988, containing the first four songs in a slightly different order. When re-released on CD in the early 1990s, the group's first single ("I Will Refuse" b/w "No Bunny" 12") was added as a bonus.
Artwork[edit]
The album cover is an slightly altered photo of one of the tornadoes that formed above Austin, Texas during the 1922 Austin tornado outbreak.[3]
