I had already written 16 songs for this EP by the time I went on holiday to my home country of South Africa in February 2014, but once I was there I found myself unignorably inspired by two specific individuals: my lovely conspiracy theorist connoisseur of a brother who educated me in the ways of living in fear; and the cutest quality of a girl who swept me off my Converse in the most sexiest of ways. Upon my return, I felt compelled to honour these two characters by mashing their influences together in one song, and the final piece written for the project was born. It really wasn’t meant to turn out so dark.

I don’t care that you saw Elvis Presley’s ghost
I only wonder how many fingers could fit in your
