This original song 'The Jabberwocky', is inspired from a poem of the same name in the Alice in Wonderland fantasy novel by Lewis Carrol. The song is about a knight's quest to kill a fearsome and terrifying dragon like creature called the Jabberwock or Jabberwocky. The style of the poem/song features an ingenious play on made up words.

'Welcome to the Battery' is a song about the cruelty of battery farming and features Ali Cameron on vocals. Philip Tindley produced and mixed the song, using instruments solely drawn from Apple Logic Pro X recording software. Using a 1990's dance style, this unsettlign track draws from a 1980's Compassion in World Farming cinema advertisement, advocating the farming of free-range eggs and protesting against the cruel practises of battery farming. It achieved some notoriety when it was banned as it alluded to putting humans in place of the chicken's experience.
