The EP, set for release on 21 May 2021, features acoustic versions of tracks primarily lifted from their 2019 album Alien . Vocalist Marcus Bridge explains how 2D adds another dimension to these tracks: “Recording an acoustic EP is something that we’ve wanted to do for quite some time and felt right with the personal nature of the songs from Alien . I wanted to strip these songs back to the bare minimum to juxtapose the soundscapes of the album, a 2D version of sorts. A song like ‘Rift’ has a completely different energy in this context and took on new meaning with the recording in the depths of lockdown, now almost feeling like a cry of frustration and despair.”
