アジア各国、欧米でのツアーも重ね、LAドジャースタジアムにおけるTyler, The Creator主催のフェスにも出演するなど、全世界的に高い評価を得ている台湾出身のスリーピース・バンド、Elephant Gym。近年では日本における活動も本格化し、2020年はフジロックフェスティバルへの出演が決まるなど、今や最も影響力のあるアジアのインディーバンドの一つとなっている。

４曲入りEPとなる本作では、日本のインストバンド・toeとストリーミングライブで国境を越えた遠隔対バンを実施したのをきっかけに、彼らの楽曲をサンプリングした"Go Through The Night"を制作し、収録。また、ベース・ボーカルのKT Changがテクニカルでキャッチーなベースラインを颯爽と弾きながら、日本語で歌う"Dear Humans"なども。日本語作詞は、cinema staffのメンバー、三島想平が手掛けている。"Dreamlike"ではエキセントリックなKTの音楽性が爆発したピアノが、”Wing"ではブラスバンドを取り入れるなど、バンドの音楽性が自由に羽ばたいた４曲となっている。

初期にはインストを基調としたマスロックともカテゴライズされていたが、近年ではジャズ、フューチャーソウル、インディーロック、シティポップ、フィルムミュージックなどから幅広い音楽性を体現し、アジア随一の洗練された楽曲構成のセンスを見せつけ、スリーピースバンドの可能性を大きく広げ続けている。
