The EP will consist of 6 tracks all penned and produced by Daniel himself while on a flight to Hawaii. The album will be made available on digital download and will be physically available at selected Starbucks and Targets across America and Internationally. The EP/album will serve as an "in between transition" between his last album and the new album which is expected to be released late 2023.
"These set of tracks are more friendly to the ear. In other words, they are a less complex than a lot of things I've recorded in the past. I kind of wanted to write songs about dreams I've had or things I may have experienced. The reason I called it Adults is because I think of adulting and right now we're living in a weird era. Especially if you're a 90's baby. We're becoming those people we feared in our youth and how do we battle that. I was thinking about that when I wrote most of these songs".
Official Track-listing:1. He, She, They Description: A dance track that talks about exploring pansexuality and the genderless love. Daniel references his own house flavored produced tracks that he worked on other artists with a more experimental approach.
2. Sofa Girl Description: Quirky bouncy sounds brings this track to newer heights than the prior track. The song talks about a one night stand with a girl who turned out to be a homeless couch surfer. What seemed to be a normal one night stand, turns out into an awkward love story about falling in love with a homeless person.
3. Artificial Pleasure Description: Talks about the scary future of sex. The song contains a sensual production almost serving as a parody but in reality the song is living up to the concept. The song also talks about how hypersexual our society is becoming.
4. Bye Bye To The Nursing Home You GoDescription: Unlike most of the EP, this song contains a more angry tone and hard hitting sound. Daniel makes references to his screamo days vocally. The song talks about a person Daniel is not keen of but he's forced to turn the other cheek. However this song serves as the absolute fuck you song to that person and not fucks are given.
5. Head in The Clouds Description: The song contains a dreamy soft production and serves as a cool off to the prior track. The idea is to make the listener feel like thy are flying through clouds. The song seems to talk about dreaming of retirement and escaping from the harsh realities of adulting, however the song turns out to be a silly innuendo about getting head.
6. Retirement Description: The song can be described almost like a deconstructed dish sonically. Many parts of the song seem to be belong to other songs, but they somehow clash together to create what Daniel describes as a catastrophic masterpiece. The song hints at the sound and direction the next album may take.

RETIRMENT SNIPPET:"We're all just working for a vacation
but I've been breaking barriers Since I was 3 Years Old
finding shortcuts on my worksheets
Told my teacher to fuck off
I don't like being told what to do
with her altered history
I already know what the truth is
Told my father this is what hell sounds like
Maybe that's why he's never been in my life
never needed the fucker
but I thank him for putting me here
Mom said congratulations
boy I know you would get it
little does she know
2nd week on the job and I've used all my PTO
I'm just the worst nightmare of a CEO
So tempted to throw my desk over
so I can watch all the papers of my misery fly away
Maybe I'll pick one up so I can roll a blunt
My wife says why do you have to be so blunt
I can't seem to find the words to say
I know I'm getting older
screwing everything up
but I can modify
I've worked hella hard
I've worked very hard
for this retirement"
