WHAT THE ARTIST SAYS ABOUT THIS EP:

“Grand Theft Auto (GTA) and Red Car Syndrome (RCS) came together spontaneously. I was working on several projects at the time, and I felt I hadn’t done any solo stuff in a while. The instrumental for RCS had been on my hard drive for over a year, and I had kind of hit a wall in terms of what I was going to do for vocals. I was hanging out with my friend Nathan in the studio, and we started chipping away at it thematically. GTA was the opposite; I made the first version of it in 40 mins. I had been in a reasonably long studio session recording my friends’ band, and while cleaning up, I started jamming a bassline on my Prophet. Thematically RCS is about faking it till you make it in terms of personal and emotional growth. GTA is about getting your hopes up too early, which I am guilty of constantly. Sonically I think there’s a nice contrast between the 2 tracks, with GTA being much more upbeat and dance-like. RCS has a much warmer vibe.”
