The Ladybug EP, released in Winter of 2011, was a precursor to Devlin's second full-length album, For Whom the Angels Named in Spring 2011 and a follow-up to her debut full-length, All Are Relative, released in winter of 2008.
The Ladybug 7" vinyl was released as part of Fireside Follies #3 at Brooklyn Fire Proof, NY on December 18th 2010, along with a live-action animated video for the EP title track, Ladybug , a collaboration between Devlin and NY based animator Preston Spurlock.
The event received a write-up in Bushwick Daily where, Senior Editor and Founder, Katarina Hybenova wrote...
"When Eric Nelson and Mike Lala, the curators, introduced Elizabeth Devlin, a singer and an autoharp angelic tunes player, I felt a little bit like I was taken back in time to San Francisco in the 1950s, I swear I nearly stood up from my chair and yelled: 'Yeah, guys, let’s do it; let’s merge the arts together; let’s get rid of the concept of the forms of art and let’s get mutually inspired.'"
The Ladybug EP vinyl includes three songs: Phoenix, Ladybug, Ancient Voices on a limited vinyl pressing of 500, in a White & Gold Foil Jacket, signed and numbered by artist, and also comes with the digital download.
The digital download includes the entire album with one additional bonus track: Phoenix, Ladybug, Ancient Voices, and Gatsby (bonus track).

lyrics
in a city of eight million today i spoke to no one for the most part it was good with a phone that does not ring and the thin wax plates that sing ancient voices serve me food in my shelter made of stone contemplating all that's known my small thoughts fall on the ears of the cat who lay beside feline friends often confide foolish thoughts and foolish fears
i lean out of my window view passer by people go from this place to some front door grandma grips her cane so tightly babies cry out righteously we're all searching for the core of what it all will mean once we all complete the things that will let heavy heads lay on down pillows made of rest languidly on lover's chest at the end of this long day
the weeping willow is falling heeding lady lake's calling for the sky she'll never know the birds they know her yearning so when the sun is burning they touch down to tell there tales conjured clouds show her affection reaching out into the heavens but too soon lady lake is dry and despite her efforts worth cloudy tears fall back to earth placid mirrors reflect clear sky
in a city of eight million today i spoke to no one
