'Pay The Rent' examines the impact of the global cost of living crisis on the arts sector. "Dancing at the misery of the situation," is how Ankle Austin describes the track, which takes aim at Brexit's architects and their impact on touring sustainability. The song's sound was influenced by the band's residency at Venue MOT, leading to a more groove-focused approach on their new album.
The album's tracklist includes 'Pay The Rent', 'Personal Responsibilities', 'Raoul', 'Dancing In Transit', 'Where's The Caganer?', 'Smart World', 'Hagen Im Garten', '摆烂 Bai Lan', and 'Closely Observed'.
