Background


Flume and Faker had previously worked together on the track "Left Alone" from Flume's 2012 album, Flume.

In September 2013, Flume announced that he and Faker had recorded an EP, stating that the final result "doesn't sound particularly like Flume or specifically like, you know, a Chet Faker record it really is kinda like a hybrid of both sounds going to one" and he feels like everything they did with the EP "was collaborative about the whole effort, and I think that shines through."[1]

Alex Young of Consequence of Sound stated: "They have found a muse in each other, and as long as they stick to intertwining their sounds rather than trying to do something completely unfamiliar, there is seemingly plenty to be reaped from it." Young added, "The suggestion of a full album from this partnership would certainly be a welcome one."[2]

"Drop the Game" was promoted as the first official single from the EP. A video was released on 18 November 2013.[4]
