Other tracks appearing on the EP like the passionate song Nataly unveils the sonic depths and tears that Galanos puts into every song.

The bluester’s fetish for tantalizing rhythms expressed in a blues construct is evidence throughout the entire EP and can be clearly seen with the remaining selections Indigo and People Just Don’t Give A Damn.
