“We almost tried to squeeze it onto our EP back in 2022. But it felt too special—it deserved its own spotlight.”

“The song has a few meanings, but the one that connects them all is patience. In intimacy, relationships, life—being confident in communicating what you need. That’s reflected sonically too: confident, soulful, sexy, fun, joyful.”

“Each track explores a different shade of heartbreak, from denial and excuses to pleading for change and, finally, acceptance. It’s the sound of fighting goodbye, and the scars it leaves behind.”

“It’s the most typical love song you’ll find on the album. Written with hearts in my eyes, full of optimism about life and the future … like floating between two storms, momentarily forgetting the hardships and focusing on how sweet and warm it can feel to be in love.”

“It felt like every piece of safety and security was pulled out from under me. I was forced to grow up too fast. This EP is me making sense of that shift — about grief, isolation, and losing a version of yourself you didn’t even know you were leaving behind.”

“I needed it to feel like it was breathing life, and that there’s somebody in the room with you when you’re listening. I wanted to keep the intimacy of acoustic demos whilst bringing them to life through this combination of live sound with slightly weirder, wonkier atmospherics.” 

“I hope that one day she will be able to hear these recordings. I hope that one day she, all of her co-defendants, and all of Palestine, will be free."

“it’s exciting baby u should come own it… I’m your trophy / come hold it.”

“the distortion of reality and the uncomfortability of death. It’s a reminder that anyone, including myself, is susceptible to distortion.”

Built from a single resampled guitar take, “peaches” was inspired by a recording session canceled when a storm knocked out power in East Nashville. “The storm provided imagery to express feeling disconnected from close friends, and frustrated with external forces getting in the way of mending the relationship.”

“It’s about staying where you are when told to leave, making a fuss, and taking up more space. In Ireland, making music without fleeing abroad is already an act of stubborn optimism. Sure, sometimes you’re crying in Lidl or dreaming of Australia — but you’re still standing. That’s our kind of ‘big girl.’”

I was coming out of a strange place, struggling to understand how the last six months had shaped me. The song became about the changing of the seasons—and how that change shapes us too.”

“Musically, we went full cock-rock—ripping solos, chugging riffs, and drum fills—before unleashing our patented PP anger. This is Problem Patterns at our cock-rockiest.”

“I wasn’t honest about what I was feeling, or about my sexuality. This was my way of saying what I couldn’t at the time.”

“It’s about looking at the world through different lenses and accepting your own vision.”

“I was feeling lost, wondering if making music was the right thing to do in a time of turmoil, seeing villains rule the world and destroy the planet.”

“This song is about that moment when things have gone too far, and you know it’s about to go west — whether on a night out or in the world at large. The moody Memphis-to-jungle beat captures that feeling creeping up on you.”

“If you get really good at telling the story of who you are, you become the story you told. I began asking: What’s the point of it?”

“It’s about the pull between surrendering to the flow and holding on—realizing it’s just a matter of perspective to find understanding.”

“Confetti explores the pressures of growing up where marriage was expected young and homophobia was constant. I thought love meant house, marriage, dogs, kids… then realised I was chasing something that was never meant for me.”
