Unlike their collaborative debut, the EP is not directly influenced by the East Neuk of Fife, with Domino Records noting, "Lyrically, there's more soul-searching than Fife folklore on the EP follow up to Diamond Mine [...] The music underneath follows these thoughts into more expansive, crystalline realms, far away from the harbours and tea-rooms where they began."[3]
