A music video was made for "Disconnect and Apply", featuring footage of the band playing live across different venues. [2]

History

The band was formed when the Brisbane, Australian band Ochre disbanded, and three of its members formed Dead Letter Circus. The new band already had one song, "Tremors", which was recorded while Ochre was still going, and was completely different from Ochre's musical style ("Tremors" was later featured as a B-side to the "Next in Line" single). Dead Letter Circus released this EP on 5 May 2007.

Notes

  1. "Disconnect and Apply" was remixed in 2008 as an iTunes exclusive bonus track on Dead Letter Circus's third single, "Next in Line". The remix was called "Inferiority Complex" and featured vocals by vocalist Ezekiel Ox, because the song was remixed by Mammal.
