The EP features Klein Zage’s spoken invocations over old school house and techno beats. Her monologues are like a peek into the stream of consciousness of anyone working in the service industry on a busy shift: cutting, witty and just trying to distract themselves from the mundanity of it all.
Joey G ii features on the EP, as does a Facta remix of the title track.
