In early 2017, work was finalized on the 'I Hardly Know You, I Barely Know Myself' EPs, with each EP featuring 5 tracks from a batch of music worked on from late 2015 until 2017. Originally there were no plans for Side B to be released until it became apparent that some of the unreleased tracks from the first EP received a warm reception in live sets, and therefore should be released.

​

Side A was released in early 2017, and Side B followed four months later. Side A was mastered by Mattu, whereas Side B was self-mastered. Both EPs had launch party gigs at Sunbird Records, where they were distributed to audience members on USB sticks.

​

'Kaleidoscope' & 'Half Moon' are both reworked versions of tracks originally due for release on the 'Moral Compass' EP.

'Are You Real' originates from around 2008, and 'Heavy Dreams' is a remake of a track from the 'Gaze' EP, released when naut was operating as 'legohair' in 2013.

​

'Spaceagelove' started live as a rework/sequel track to 'On My Mind' from 'X Marks The Spot', before evolving into the track it is now. It shares a great deal of drum & percussion sounds with the track.

​

The title track is available in 2 different mixes depending on where it is streamed/purchased. Both mixes fall quite short of the original artistic intent, and the track itself is being reworked for the second naut album, where it will appear in a new form.

​

The artwork was designed & painted by Holly Riding, using epoxy resin paint.

​

Notable live shows to support the EPs included sets at The Beat-Herder Festival, Solfest, Moofest & Number 39 (Supporting Henge),

​

In 2024, following the liquidation of Sunbird Records, the EPs were re-released independently in a 10-track digital format consisting of both EPs together in a revised tracklisting.
