The Power Does Not Work In the Presence Of Nonbelievers EP sees Self Defense Family at their most open and intimate. Combining 4 tracks collaboratively put together by the band from disparate locations across the US, The Power Does Not Work across the course of a couple of weeks in October / November 2015. Band members added parts of songs to a shared 'grab bag' for other members to listen and 'call dibs' on sections they wanted to work with - collectively, the band built up whole songs.
