Background

Speaking about the new sound for the EP, member Jean Paul Makhlouf said;

"It’s a fresh sounding EP. We tried some new stuff with it and are very proud of the way it turned out. There’s a good balance between electronic breaks and pop hooks. We did this really cool thing with kid gang vocals in "Overtime", "Satellites", and "Kiss The Sky". It kinda connected those 3 songs. The female vocals on "Take Me Home", "Here and Now", and "Hideaway" brought those three together. It made for a very cohesive EP that we are really excited about." [3]

To support the EP, the group announced a North American tour that began in October 2013. [4]
