I guess I wanted to create one version of ”the perfect album closer” with this track. Slow but steady build to a cathartic release of emotion and power and a quiet haunting outro. For some reason it reminds me of…

Conversations with an Algorithm is actually what the album was meant to be called before I came up with the term ”botify” (only to later learn I wasn’t the first one at all). This is the second track on the…

It's been a while, to state the obvious first.
Seeing as all our endeavours around the release of 'The Hurt & The Humour' didn't quite pan out the way we'd have liked, I decided to go back to our roots…

Ugly
This is me pissed off. Pissed off at everyone, pissed off at the world, but most of all just pissed at myself. I think it’s about rejection in essence though…
