Liner notes

This EP is about movement: starting a first job, itching to leave, and then pulling back into the old neighborhood. We wrote it on the road between shows, mostly in the back of a van with a keyboard on our knees. Pocket started adding bigger synth stabs here, a first hint of what Overdrive would become, while we kept the chants as plain and shoutable as ever.
