In 2013, Danielsen began performing solo work so that he can "just do whateverthe song is calling for and take it to places Smile never goes" and "to have other outlets for creating work which may not fit into the Smile Empty Soul “mold”". After publishing the EP, PureGrainAudio.com released a freecopy of "The Breaks", the first song on the album.
Composition
Featuring six acoustic tracks performed by the singer accompanied only by his guitar, the tunes recorded for the EP were described by the vocalist as delicate, low key songs best accompanied by light guitar. Danielsen went on say that the compositionsdiverge from tunes typically performed by those written for Smile Empty Soul.
