"[2] Regarding the EP's final four tracks, and their exclusion from their forthcoming album, the band stated, "We had been writing and demo-ing for this record for some time, we found ourselves sitting on a lot of songs at the beginning of the year.

"[2] Guitarist and vocalist Scott Hutchison stated that the track, "Boxing Night", is thematically linked to the band's second studio album, The Midnight Organ Fight (2008), which dealt with the aftermath of a romantic break-up.

Hutchison noted, "Some of the lyrics are pretty old actually, and for me it has a lot in common with much of The Midnight Organ Fight material, sonically and thematically, which is probably why it felt a bit weird sitting on the new album.

"[2] Regarding the EP's fourth track, "Off", Hutchison noted, "One day last year I was rifling through a pile of old receipts and amongst them I found the lyrics to "Off", written on the back of an invoice of some sort.

"[4] This Is Fake DIY also gave the EP a positive review, stating, "This is an album's cutting room floor yet each song still retains Hutchison's instantly recognisable Scottish drawl, infectious hooks and intelligent lyrics.
