Anything 03:35
I said I'm going to go - I've never been before If this isn't selfish, I don't know what is Given the time I will waste sitting in my skin Oh anything to know Paint me a perfect picture Deflect the colour - to deter Oh anything to know This is the time; the place you were born Make up your mind or you'll be left out of scope Oh anything to know If this isn't perfect, do you know what is? Spew it online - the best way to live Oh anything to know If this isn't selfish, I don't know what is Given the time I will waste sitting in my skin Oh anything to know Paint me a perfect picture Deflect the colour - to deter Oh anything to know Anything but no Anything but no I've gonna go home, never been before I'm heading home

Differ 03:32
Fingers drawn across the surface Making differences Eyes follow across glancing differences I sin myself - no arms crossed I said eyes red - I sin myself Palms in place to question differences Quickened pulse races to deter differences Surface reflecting worn honours Eye reflecting blind to troubled waters I sin myself - no arms crossed I said eyes red - I sin myself Fickle following stay oblovious Shaking fists at shallow thresholds You're never told more than this I sin myself - no arms crossed I said eyes red - I sin myself You're not the last on your last breath Making differences

Say 02:24
Feeling from the gut, feeling that you've had enough Fell around, it's gone to ground By now going Go get a grip, throw caution to eloquence Pray parenthesis. Saying it, say it. Bare implement, grabbed hands on any spirit that's left Pass by nothing new Come on down again The feeling is comfort revisted Wrists pinned behind, push any further and break off your charm Go get a grip, throw caution to eloquence Pray parenthesis. Saying it, say it. Pass by, nothing new

Set 02:25
You sound upset, next guess Be on set, it's your best guess Be on set, the best guess for this Your eyes are bigger than the diameter Meter me, have mercy please Glass boys, broken boys Sitting around the edge I can't believe in feeling the strange swing I'm upset, I'm upset - set to being again. You're upset sat about again Your eyes are bigger than the diameter Meter me, have mercy please

Fragile Keys 04:20
I am Jack's disdain at hearing this I told you before I'm square with the house again Each person's house is them But they can't find any of the keys They don't need anything, I'm not hollowed out Not hollow at all; a brick between my eyes.

about

'TO KNOW' is the EP from IDEAL

While the first incarnation of IDEAL was a combination of live drums, sample pads and vocals run through multiple amps, all played live. Some of the tracks were created mid set and different every night.

This new EP takes a different turn in timbre but retains a similar undertone from the previosu recordings. While stuck inside like everyone else, live drums were replaced by drum machine and buit upon with synths and effects.

The result is this new direction of experimental pop from IDEAL, helped by long time friend and collaborator Hamish Black in the mixing/mastering to help collate the tracks and sound to convey the lyrical themes of anxiety, control and lack of it that are reflected in the record.
