Three of the songs were written in 2020 but ‘Shy Contortionist’ actually dates back to a band I used to play in many years ago with Maria Vellanz (currently of Bent Husbands) called Leisur Hive. I found an old tape of it in a box and it just seemed to fit in with the other songs. So Maria and I re-recorded it and it blended in perfectly with what The Shining Tongues are doing now. The EP definitely has a narrative running through it – more like one side of an album ..."
