One Rizla

Vocalist Charlie Steen and guitarist Eddie Green wrote to NPR:

"This is by far the oldest song we have on this record, written above The Queen’s Head pub in Stockwell in summer, 2014. It started off based around a pretty stupid jangly riff Eddie had written at home some months before, with a godawful funk intro, which we for some reason thought was good at the time.

Steen’s lyrics to this song were literally written in a school textbook, as you might be able to tell by listening to them. Lyrically, this song is kind of an outcry of the kind of hopelessness and frustration we experienced during our, in part, tragic adolescent years.

After being wisely advised by our manager to cut the funk intro about a year later, the song started to become more coherent. We made several attempts at recording this track with various different people, however none of these seemed to bear fruit as we had hoped, which was kind of frustrating. We continued playing the song at every show — including twice at one show when we were demanded our first encore — and during our last stab at demoing the track before recording the album, things suddenly began to fall into place and we moulded it into its current form."
