Notes
- According to bassist Rani Sharone in an interview with Music Street Journal, track number seven obtained its title from some creative wordplay:
"It all started with the word "Interlude," the song's original title. Interlude...Int er lude...Swint er Slude...Swint or Slude...Swint or Slude?...there ya go... the metamorphosis of the word interlude. Loosely inspired by a Jeopardy category."
- "Filistata" is the name for a genus of spiders native to Eurasia and Northern Africa.
- "Push Button" was previously recorded and produced by John Avila.
