'Swear Jar' is an optimistic tune about the dumb stuff we fight about in the heat of the moment, and having the patience to find out what the other person really means without judging them on the language they used initially, on the premise that hindsight is the mother of foresight.

"For the clip we talked shop with the superb Mike Ridley and Nick McKK, and despite having a short timeline, we figured we'd act out a conflict in supernatural circumstances, initiated by playing a cursed board game; It's jumanji, but cloaked with the naive optimism of 'Bill and Ted'. That way the lesson isn't fear, it's that life is cool and totally heinous, and friendship is the best or whatever. I'm just glad we could tie in my surplus of teeth into the concept really" - Sean

Taken from the upcoming EP 'Zero''

'Zero' is a collection of songs arriving at a point of indifference after assessing my capacity to hate, love, empathise, and understand the behaviours of those who
live on the edge of my world, and myself on theirs.
I've dedicated sleepless nights capturing
and externalising these short narratives alone, so I can forget the painful futility of their messages, and focus on the only
true pleasure; the method of their delivery. Songwriting is taking the antidote with the poison.


Lyrics:

it helps to swear if you're hurt,
to scream, and kick, and curse
damning the hypocrites and liars
for what they call friendly fire
when it seemes no suture can make it better
just remember...
it helps to swear if you're hurt

even when you've done nothing wrong
the resentment is just as strong
don't punish yourself for painting fiction
for there's more to be seen in a narrowing vision

if you swear I can tell something's beating you down
we'll dig you out from your underground
it's less like a light switch and more like a dimmer
while the anger is fading, the room will get brighter
same with your language, I understand
there's a spectrum between words like fuck and damn
there's a spectrum between words like fuck and damn
there's a spectrum between words like fuck and damn
so remember...
it helps to swear if you're hurt
