"Neurosis" produced by frequent collaborator Real Miilk is a piano heavy, soft percussion cut that truly highlights Oliver Riot's soulful vocals. Their voices of the third prominent instrument heard. "Neurosis" will give you James Blake and Dave Bayley vibes. In discussing their new single, Oliver Riot said,
"'Neurosis' is the first track off of our upcoming EP! We recorded the song in the back of a rickety old Korean church in CA while living there illegally. The song is about regret, wincing away bad decisions, neurotically obsessing over awkward events, and the inability to stop replaying images of fleeting mistakes that can no longer be undone."
