The duo spent time writing, in Ressel's apartment, and performing at small venues. Beckmann described this song writing process as a form of “musical exorcism”. After eight months, they went into the Sound & Motion studio in Cape Town to record their South Africa-only extended play (EP), "Mouth of Me". The studio was owned by Simon Ratcliffe, a session bassist, who he engineered the recording, but did not play during the session. Produced by Ressel, the EP titled was inspired by a phrase used by Beckmann's ex-boyfriend. The EP was launched on 1 March 2005 at SOBIET in Cape Town. Ratcliffe played electric bass at the launch, and in the small crowd at the launch was, future drummer, Sean Ou Tim.
