"The Trouble with Us" started with a tweet. Australian musician Chet Faker posted one of English DJ Marcus Marr's songs on Twitter, Marr wrote to say thanks, and the two got talking, trading ideas until they agreed to make something together. In 2015 they holed up in Marr's South London studio and knocked out a four-track EP, Work, in four days, and this was its lead single, released on October 16, 2015, a day after Triple J gave it a world premiere on Linda Marigliano's Good Nights show.
The result is slinky, late-night funk, and the critics heard it too: Inthemix's Katie Cunningham called it an "intergalactic funk-tinged track", while Music Feeds' Sally McMullen praised its hooks and its guitar riff and reckoned it would be a killer live.
