The lead single from the EP, \"Circles,\" is a shimmering indie-pop track with delicate guitar work and melodic vocals reminiscent of early 90s college radio hits. In a press release, Hekt explained that she aimed to create a more positive record as she strives to avoid falling apart. The EP will feature four tracks: \"Circles,\" \"The Time Changes,\" \"Threadbare,\" and \"Reality.\" Hekt will embark on a German tour in September, performing in Offenbach, Stuttgart, Kassel, Dresden, Berlin, Lüneburg, Hamburg, Hannover, and Düsseldorf at various venues such as Hafen, Kipepeo Clothing, Dock, Ostpol, Schokoladen, Spätcafé, Nachtasyl, Nordstadtbraut, Rattinger Hof, and more. The Threadbare EP can be pre-ordered ahead of its release.",
