Writing and production
editThe collaboration arose due to Kent lead singer Jocke Berg's desire to continue writing after Kent's summer tour of 2010.[3] Hassle was contacted for a preliminary studio session, after which Kent's bass guitarist, Martin Sköld, also became involved in the project. The EP was written, recorded and produced between autumn 2010 and spring 2011.
