The first part is ‘EPA’, dedicated to DeniseJohnson. It features the band’s final recordingswith Denise and came about when they used upsome remaining time booked in the studio for aday jam with no fixed agenda, and the result issomething very special.
Next up is ‘EPC’, a collaboration EP with AndyMeecham (Emperor Machine), Maria Uzor fromSink Ya Teeth, Jacknife Lee, and Chris Massey(who remixed their song ‘Dirty Boy’ back in 2019).The whole EP is dedicated to longtime ACR friendAndrew Weatherall, the inspiration for the song‘Guv’nor’, which the band describe as“acollaboration in spirit.”
The final piece of the trilogy is ‘EPR’, which wasrecorded with the internal brief that ‘anythinggoes’. EPR includes Part 2 and Part 1 (in thatorder!) of the mesmerising ‘$ouls In The City’,followed by the insanely catchy ‘Night People’, ‘BigBoy Pants’ and the final track ‘Downtime Vibes’, ahypnotic piece of repetitive rhythms built up arounda set of chimes that Jez found in the back of hiscar.
