Notes

Track numbering suggests this is a 9+ track collection (track 9 confirmed). Track titles anticipate themes that recur throughout the discography: body-horror imagery (“manipulative squid bodies in your body,” “knuckles in your stomach”), scientific terminology used poetically (“para-sympathetic nervous system”), and animal references (“giraffe legs”). “anxious anxious” double-word is a Colin verbal tic seen in later releases.
