"Neophobia is the first track on Phobia and is also my least favorite. I find it to be quite a lazy track. It did however represent what the production style of Phobia would be like from then on."

"'Phasmophobia' is perhaps my favorite track off of Phobia. Probably because I recorded it differently than everything else. Instead of being tracked linearly I instead recorded snippets of different songs sections and pieced them together in a way that made sense. Sinse recording it I have realized that the chorus shares some similarity to The Downward Spiral Motif."

"This was the first song in a while that I had written in 3/4. It was also an absolute pain to record. Originally I was supposed to sing it but every time I would go to record it I was either ill or hated the vocal take. The final vocal takes for both this and 'Cosmophobia' were done last second due to numerous personal issues and schedule conflicts."

"This was never meant to be an instrumental it just turned into one. Philophobia is the fear of love and I suck at writing love songs. I think I got only about two verses written down before just scrapping it and leaving it as an instrumental."

"This was my attempt at trying to make something Pink Floyd esque. That fact is most apparent in the guitar part which is similar to 'Run Like Hell' on The Wall. This was my favorite track on Phobia for a very long time. I just simply burnt it out from hearing it so much. I am glad that it has received some praise however."

"Perhaps my least favorite song I've written (with vocals). I mainly dislike it due to a lone gig I did to a very small audience. It was one of the earliest gigs I did and it was also the first one in which I presented one of my own songs so there was some nervousness. I think I hold some resentment towards it because of that. I also have not played it since that gig."

"I don't really have much to say about this one. However, the solo is done with two different guitars. The first half is done with a Fender VG and the second half with a Starcaster (not the one that is currently listed on Fender's site but the one with the strat body) simply because a string broke."

"'Anthrophobia' was an afterthought. It serves a similar purpose as 'Hurt' does on The Downward Spiral. I do enjoy playing this one though."

"The title of this one is lifted from Phil Collins' memoir. I only recently realized that the instrumental itself is like a weird combination of 'Do You Know, Do You Care?' by Collins and "I Can't Dance" by Genesis. I'm not proud of the lyrics on this one though the only real thing that could fix that is if I switched I to You in the chorus. I'll probably sing it that way live."

"This weird little song is most definitely a Depeche Mode ripoff. In fact the verse chord progression was originally a complete ripoff of 'Never Let Me Down Again' luckily I caught that and quickly changed it. I like it though. The pre-chorus mainly reminds me of 'Fly on the Windscreen' off of Black Celebration. This track also does some weird things with tritones."

"This is perhaps my favourite track I've written. It shares a chord progression with the chorus of 'The Final Word' adding some connection between the two."

"'Both 'Back To This Place', ''If You Want Me' and 'Thanatophobia' stem from the same sessions dating back to Summer of 2024. This one is strange and chagnes key in the chorus."

"'Eclipse' was the first thing recorded for this album with this album in mind. It sort of dictated where the direction went in the end after drifting around different genres like industrial and hard rock."

"'Out Right' is another strange little track. It has a guitar in a weird tuning thats a variation of ostrich tuning that is also used on 'In Your Head'. I make a mistake in the lyrics on the last chorus saying sound right instead of look right. I used to consider it filler but it has grown on me."

"This was a song written while reading 1984. It was also written somewhat in response to the recent addition of age-verification features on YouTube and Discord."

"'If You Want Me' has next to nothing interesting about it apart from there being three different single mixes for it."

"Sometimes I end up messing around on the piano late at night. This track stems from that. This track and 'Out Right' share many aspects such as a mellotron and that weird guitar tuning mentioned earlier. There is also a pitched down piano sample which is the piano track from 'Thalasophobia'."

"'Bleed Out' is a really, really weird song both chord progression wise and structure wise. This most likely stems from the fact that it was written on guitar and is a waltz. It also went through numerous phases of completion taking the longest out of any song to complete. Since writing it I've noticed some paralells to ELO's 'Endless Lies'."

"This song stems from the same circumstances that 'In Your Head' comes from, though this was recorded much earlier. It was originally much longer fleshing out the bridge more but I found it to be more impactful if the bridge was the way it is now. Mixing this one was a pain too. It has maybe about 15 to 16 different instruments on it all playing different parts. The final mix obscures a lot of them but they are there. The drum machine used on this one is also notable as it is a Roland CR-78 which is most widely known for beingt the 'In The Air Tonight' drum machine."

"'Flesh' is the product of a new style of writing I've been experimenting with in which I put on a movie and mess around on the piano intermittently. This song is the result of, I kid you not, watching Flubber. (Yes the Robin Williams movie). I had it finished for about a month before release, in fact we almost got it midway through April on a planned EP which would have finished a few Eclipse outtakes but I thought it felt rushed and that the finished outtakes sounded bad."
