Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and the UK's national lockdown, we made sure to keep busy recording and filming videos of our music. After a few months, we decided we wanted to release some recordings as an EP that would have been made during lockdown...
The version of Vantage you can listen to on the EP is in fact a remastered version of the video we released at the start of the lockdown. Zig-Zag is a tune we were happy to see on the EP as it is our easiest to play which made it easier to record separately. The intro was Aaron's own addition to experiment with his production skills, and Euphoria was a piano solo that we believed gave a fitting end to the EP. The version of Vantage you can hear on this EP also forms a strong link to the beginning of Euphoria, as a perfect cadence forms between the 2 songs. The soothing track Nocturnal Lights came from a combination of minimalistic production and a gentle electric piano sample with drums and a bed of strings joining in later on. This is my personal favourite because I think the harmony and 7th chords work really well with the general mood of the song.
