"High" and "On Our Own" are the first tracks from MacFarlane since his debut EP Cirrhi arrived earlier this year.

Both the tracks were originally supposed to be arrangements for a string quartet. MacFarlane explains, “I think it’s good to allow songs to take their course and become what they’re supposed to be, rather than imposing order from the outside. I think there’s definitely a way of looking at it which is ‘what does the song need?’ rather than ‘what do I want?’. It’s deciding at what point in a song’s evolution you choose to record it, to add lyrics. It’s about letting things unfold."

"High" arrives with a stop-motion video created by animator Tayo Kopfer. MacFarlane comments, "A big part of the song is about zooming way out, seeing your life (and other peoples’ lives) fast forwarded, a bit like a time lapse. The paint moving across the screen plays with everything in the video, including me, mirroring how all of our actions ripple out into the world, even though we don’t always see it.”
