"VanFokKingTasties" presents a rare opportunity for the whole family to enjoy the album and the shows together. Tracks FokofpolisiekarVasbeslote Korporasie Deel 1: "This is a lekker hard song from the album 'Swanesang'. We thought that it would be interesting to make this song mellow. We are going to keep this track simple and eerie." aKingFacebrick Constellations: "This was an older song that always had the potential to be a nice folk-rock song. It turned out like a storytelling cowboy song. Pierre-Arnold Theron and Jacques du Plessis from Mr Cat and the Jackal joined us on percussion and piano." Die Heuwels FantasiesIn En Uit: "We approached this song in a 'Shins' manner, with a bit of a swing."
