The rest of the tracks on the E.P. will be as follows...

Sick of cars

Things get noisy. A synthesiser is treated harshly. Real drums make an appearance. The madness comes and goes like a whirlwind.

Florian's day.

Inspired by the surrealist film-maker Florian Habicht. When one's relationship with reality doesn't work out, the only option is to go one's own way. Verse/chorus structure is thrown out the window as the song churns through a couple of moments of dreamstate. Piano accordian will never be the same again!

I know that you told me

The progression away from everyday music is complete. Bass and geektar crackle away like an old record - lo-fi at its best. The vocals appear like alien harmonies, intruding on their accompaniment. The song ends but the ghost remains...
