The previous version of “Skin turns to Glass” consisted of three tracks clocking in at a total of 45 minutes. The new edit will probably not differ from this all that much, but, as Aidan Baker pointed out, sound even more edgey: “We tried for a bit of a rawer, rougher production so that tracks have a bit more of a live, unpolished feel. There is still lots of layering, as on our other records, but the sound is not quite as soft and fuzzy as some of our other releases.” These claims are supported by a pre-release snippet from “Sandskin”, which now has a gargantuan, morbid and progressive feel to it.

Baker also revealed that the new Nadja CD on The End Records will come accompanied by a new, previously unavailable composition: “We maxed out the CD again with an ambient bonus track that will probably try people's patience...but the ending of that track might be a bit of a surprise..."
