On Extraterrestrial Living was recorded in 2009, but its release would be delayed by a decade as its creators struggled through the mixing process. Descending into an obsessive madness while trying to produce the perfect record, Camilla would end up shelving the entire project by 2012 -- only to unearth it again in 2019 when the compulsion to release the most complete batch of mixes grew too strong.

Written at the onset of the 2008 financial crisis, On Extraterrestrial Living examines the pros and pitfalls of pursuing financial gain at the expense of creative dreams. The narrator draws a sharp, “either/or” distinction between the two and frets over which path to follow, agonizing over not only his own desires, but the expectations of others. Feeling adrift at the epicenter of an economic system that is shuddering violently around him, he turns inward, pours himself into his art, and hopes for the best.
