EP Synopsis: The EP tells the story of our arrival to a festival in the year 2002. As the EP develops, and our day at the festival, the tone, character and energy of the music changes throughout.

Track synopsis: The 4th track, titled 'As The Sun Goes Down', is definitely the most experimental, and will absolutely not make sense to you if you're sober. If it does, kudos, but that's not the intention. This is track for when you're absolutely done for (I'd say anything less than a 2A/4B won't cut the mustard), this is the peak of the festival experience, where your running off of fumes and whatever you bought of that random geezer 3 hours ago. This is a dark, and twisted affair, it's dissonant, it's weird, and it's confusing musically, but there is still some element of harmony there. The bass is pounding away, barely encompassing a melody for you to experience, here you're trying your best to keep hold of reality, as you look around amongst the crowd in the darkness, as the lasers shine over your head, you just feel the euphoria, of being in this safe but completely unfamiliar place, looking around you see your closest friends in their own states of delirium, all dancing away, all covered in sweat, looking disheveled and exhausted, but you just keep on dancing.

For this track, I had to actually test it - I had to listen to it when I was... not sober, and it was one of the most beautiful things I'd heard I couldn't help but laugh. This is always going to be a favorite of mine, and I don't expect many people to understand it, but if you get into a place where it does make sense, you're in for a treat.
