"[25] After hearing some of MNDR's music, English producer Mark Ronson invited Warner on his East Village Radio show in 2010, where he played one of her songs.

[49] MNDR described the EP as "the altered states parallel universe of East LA neighborhoods Highland Park and Eagle Rock.

It is the soundtrack to nihilist future acid punk versions of these worlds, mixed with cough syrup and taking nods from Charles Burns' Black Hole, Akira, and Love and Rockets.

"[53] MNDR collaborated with Scissor Sisters on the charity single "Swerlk", released on June 9, 2017, in celebration of Pride Month and in honor of the one-year anniversary of the mass shootings at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida.
