All six songs were recorded with and produced by Sam Fitzpatrick, (Mick Jones - The Clash, Libertines and Guy Pratt - Pink Floyd).
Following the sudden loss of lead singer Dan Price in February 2017, the EP reflects a comeback from shattered emotions. Based in London, The Ha’pennies original lineup comprised of Ben, Will & Dan, all hailing from South Wales and Sam the drummer from Birmingham The name for the EP comes from a lyric in the song 'Ghosts', on their first EP, written by the late Dan Price.
