Inspired by spaghetti westerns and Quentin Tarantino, and by director-producer Ryan Sauer, the two songs combine to form "Reprisal"; a tale of vengeance and retribution.[4]
Reception
editauspOp said: "'Fire' is undoubtedly the most commercial of the two and is primed for commercial radio airplay", adding "'Distant Arizona' is a slightly grittier electronic piece, with Alister from Cloud Control providing the vocals." The website also called the project "seriously impressive".[5]
