The EP takes surrealist illustrator Edward Gorey as its patron — the darkly humorous imagery that surrounded Defcee growing up in suburban Chicago. Defcee and Spectacular Diagnostics had collaborated once before, on “Class” from Spec’s 2023 album Raw Lessons. Def reached out after hearing the darkly humorous soundscape Spec crafted for SIMONY, the album from UK crew Cult of the Damned. The result is four songs built as a score for those muggy, overcast days that can spoil the beauty of a Chicago summer — by turns grim, playful, and mournful, with Spec handling production, mixing, mastering, and cover art around Defcee’s writing.
