Notes on this release from the band:

The music for this EP is all recorded in one session on the 1st May 2012. All music is improvised, we just agreed on the key / scale and started playing on a range of electronic instruments. The recording was then edited into shorter 'radio friendly' tracks, and vocals have been added later by collaborators in the UK.

There is a loose theme running through all of the songs, inspired by the view of the town of Tung Chung.

- Mr Analogue is about someone waking up in in Tung Chung after a party, not knowing where he is or how he ended up these.

- Nowhere to be found is a poem in Cantonese about a little bird flying among grey building and not finding any foods or friends.

- Goodbye is about someone saying goodbye to their current life and welcoming a new future

Vocals are by:

- Akiko A., a Japanese spoken word vocalist and singer

- Apple Hui, the designer of our previous album cover, from Hong Kong

- MC Haranei, the alter ego of the singer on our previous album Charmaine, from London

The EP's cover photo was taken in Tung Chung a few minutes before the recording session started.
