Sorry, you're right.  "The Eye" is the EP (there is no self-titled EP).

Someone else just wrote asking "what is this KUKL stuff".  From local record
store: "Experimental positive punk led by female vocalist; ex members of
Iceland's Pur-Kurr Pillnick (unsure of spelling).  -good-"  And good it is
indeed.  Unusual stuff with strong (but not overly loud in mix) vocals &
strong lyrics, usually delivered in "rap" with sentual feel, possibly because
it's cold in Iceland.  Music is experimental rock with a looney, tense,
almost circus-like atmosphere.
