As explained by Alex Kortt, "the reason for doing the two EPs was to do with giving people a good snapshot of where we’re at musically. Not only that, but to really make sure that before we do an album we know exactly the direction we want to take. I mean as far as where we were at mentally we probably just weren’t at the stage where we wanted to do an album just yet."

The lead single off this EP was "Mexico" which a music video was also made for. It received regular airplay on national youth radio station Triple J.
