Background

[edit]

Three songs from the EP ("Mine Tonight", "I Got Nothing" and "Trees and Flowers") were originally recorded for 2011's Only in Dreams, but were put aside for being "too different" and "atmospheric".[2] These songs were intended to be used as B-sides; the cover of Strawberry Switchblade's "Trees and Flowers" was meant to accompany "Bedroom Eyes" on an unreleased 7" single.[3] The remaining songs were recorded a year later in Chelsea, Manhattan.[2]

"Lord Knows" was released as a single on July 31, 2012.[4]
