Track **5** (closer) on [**applied communications has a midlife crisis**](/albums/applied-communications-has-a-midlife-crisis/). [Backseat Mafia](https://www.backseatmafia.com/premiere-max-wood-returns-as-applied-communications-taps-emperor-x-and-literally-has-a-midlife-crisis/) premiered **sinéad**: Wood on an intense mental breakdown visiting Los Angeles; sent a poppier draft to **Emperor X**, then doubled down on his bizarre edits for the final version.

**Mixed by Scoobert Doobert; mastered by Riley Knapp** on the full EP.
