Background

In late October or early November 2021, Laura decided that she will come back to music under the name "Xen" and that she will now make experimental music. 4 months after abandoning her chiptune muszka303music project. Then in late November 2021, she started to work on a project that ended up being called "Spirals".

Recording

Spirals started being recorded in late November 2021, it took 3 weeks to record and produce every single track. Recording and producing took place on Bandlab entirely. The track "Spirals" is Xen's 1st and only track recorded entirely on PC which is on spirals. The other 2 tracks were recorded using bandlab mobile. Recording finished in mid December 2021.

Composition

Spirals is a mix of House and Trip hop. It begins with the ambient hyperpop synth piece of the title track, it slowly morphs onto the next track "Kick" with it's chillout and calm house with a mix of trip hop. It then eventually morphs onto the 3rd and final track "Transitioning Into a Dream State" which is a microhouse track which ends off the EP.
