[edit | edit source]

The group's sophomore album is primarily a pop record with influences of bass house, jazz, alternative R&B, post-trip hop and synth-pop. The EP is 15 minutes and 13 seconds and features 5 songs.[10] Many critics observed that has a lighter, more whimsical feel with catchy deep house beats rather than their debut EP The Billage of Perception: Chapter One.[11][12] One of the members of the group, Suhyeon, stated to The Korea Times that "In our debut track, we mostly focused on revealing our everyday life in a mysterious village," Suhyeon explained. "In our second release 'Snowy Night' that dropped in December, we offered a glimpse into our unconscious world. And this time, we will have people explore the deeper layers of our unconsciousness."[13]
