Background

On 16 April 2013, Knife Party announced on Twitter that they have replaced the track "Baghdad" with a 'VIP' Mix of Internet Friends. Knife Party premiered the official artwork for the EP on 27 April, on their Facebook page. The EP was made available to pre-order in the US on 27 April, with the confirmed release date of 6 May. The EP leaked on 29 April 2013, but the leaked version of "Power Glove" was erroneous because its sub bass was pitched down an octave too low. On 5 May 2013, the EP was uploaded and available to stream in full on Knife Party's official YouTube and SoundCloud accounts. The EP was later released in digital and CD formats a day later. "Power Glove" debuted at #38 on the Scottish Singles Chart and at #43 on the UK Singles Chart on 12 May 2013.

gollark: I kind of prefer ComputerCraft because all the OC microcrafting is annoying.
gollark: Wait, are there computer mods? I quite like having those around for fiddly automation stuff.
gollark: Maybe. I don't know much about funky locomotion.
gollark: Or move the digital miner around on funky locomotion for some odd reason, I guess. I think that'd be possible.
gollark: I like the idea generally, I just don't like manual mining much.
