This is the country album. For this occasion Spoelstra strictly limited himself to the sounds of a guitar, a drum kit, a sampler and some effect pedals. This EP contains six songs, desperately trying to bring together slide guitar driven countrylicks, hectic rock, bleeping electrosounds, robotic atmospheres and the occasional sad melody here and there. Just to show that there is also a sensitive side behind all this.

To prevent any discussion about wether or not this is indeed a country album, all the songs are about souvereignty issues in the broadest sense.
