The EP, and its title track, are named after the transit van used by the band, according to singer and guitarist Yan.^[1]

The band's merchandise stand at concerts also sold their own brand of beer named "Zeus".^[2][3]

Contradictory to the appearance of their names, the track "Mongk" is a remix of the song "Mongk II", which was written earlier but released later.^[4] Both "Mongk II" and "Cleaning Out The Rooms" appeared on the Valhalla Dancehall album, released a few months after Zeus.

The EP artwork is strongly inspired by a London Underground poster designed by Kathleen Stenning in 1925.^[5]
