New Ben Folds Five track streaming...on The Sing-Off website.

Though it's not the full Ben Folds Five reunion album that so many are desperately waiting for, the band did get back together to record three new songs for Ben Folds' upcoming compilation, The Best Imitation of Myself: A Retrospective.

The song, "House", which can be heard HERE, is reminiscent of Whatever and Ever Amen-period BF5, though the song feels more like a B-side from that era. Still, the Five had a special charm that was never quite recaptured in Folds' solo work, so it's nice to hear that familiar sound once more. So no looking in the mouth of this gifted horse.

This comes in advance of a Five reunion that Folds himself announced at the beginning of this month while on a press junket for his current gig as judge on The Sing-Off. Though no tour has been announced, one can only be expected should his indentured servitude to NBC/Universal/Comcast come to an end.

Now, for no reason other than sheer awesomeness, here's Ben Folds Five live with "Narcolepsy" off of their magnum opus The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner.

Whatever (and Ever Amen).
