This EP shines a spotlight on the organic and imperfect nature of real humans playing “real” instruments in a slight departure from the heavily electronic sound of Shamu's previous releases. Lyrically, it explores identity, mental health and self-criticism with a sense of optimism and progression which resolves some of the tension found in the bands earlier more angst-ridden songs. 

It is the first of two self-produced EP's Shamu will release in 2021.
