The EP, and its title track, are named after the transit van used by the band, according to singer and guitarist Yan.[1]
The band's merchandise stand at concerts also sold their own brand of beer named "Zeus".[2][3]
Contradictory to the appearance of their names, the track "Mongk" is a remix of the song "Mongk II", which was written earlier but released later.[4] Both "Mongk II" and "Cleaning Out The Rooms" appeared on the Valhalla Dancehall album, released a few months after Zeus.
The EP artwork is strongly inspired by a London Underground poster designed by Kathleen Stenning in 1925.[5]

gollark: If C tooling could fix everything memory-wise, we would probably not have such problematic buggy bugs in Linux and SQLite and everything else, which are both extensively tested.
gollark: C is very unsafe by default and needs you to use stuff to make it vaguely safer.
gollark: Alternatively, you can just use encryption™ technology.
gollark: Just make your own FUSE filesystem, silly.
gollark: I blame tooling which isn't good enough to catch many errors.
