Aaron Nordstrom on Basement: "Basement is pretty personal. That's just blatant discussion of me being the teenager with Albinism and my conversation with God at the time and being angry about it, not trying - not really understanding where I fit in in society in my peer group. [...] It was a working title at beginning, but it kinda worked out in a sense that as a kid, and even if I could now, I would, I always lived in the basement because it was darker. I'm photosensitive, being Albino, so it was always darker." [7]
Aaron Nordstrom on Mourning Star: "I wrote that at really stressful time of my life. It's not directly related to anything I was going through necessarily at the time. That song is more of a diatribe about the fall of Lucifer from heaven and in that sense of metaphor for everybody's kinda battle with their own faith in, I don't want to say God necessarily, but you know, their place in the universe and your purpose for being here. I went through a very, very emotional point when I was writing that song. That was a really heavy emotional time for me to put on paper." [7]
All tracks are written by Gemini Syndrome.

Feelin Kinda Free is the sixth studio album from Australian band The Drones, and their final one before going on hiatus. Having grown tired with the more rock-oriented sound of the band up until that point, frontman Gareth Liddiard became fascinated with both vintage and modern electronic equipment - ranging from drum machines and samplers to the Teenage Engineering OP-1 synthesizer - in conceiving the album's sound. Its genre-defying musical style has been described as visceral and ominous, featuring a relative absence of guitars and a prominent use of electronic textures. Its sessions also marked the first appearance of drummer Christian Strybosch since 2005's Wait Long by the River and the Bodies of Your Enemies Will Float By.
