Writing and composition

Regarding the EP's overall aesthetic, Turner noted, "If the music I make is a spectrum that has acoustic folk stuff at one end, and rock music at the other, with Poetry of the Deed the needle was over towards the rock end. That's fine to do on occasion, but I think that as a general thing I’d rather be somewhere a bit more in the middle. So that’s the idea with Rock and Roll, and with the new album as well; the idea is to pull things back a little bit."
