Frusciante said of this album and its follow-up, ''PBX Funicular Intaglio Zone'', "I consider my music to be Progressive Synth Pop, which says nothing about what it sounds like, but does describe my basic approach. I combine aspects of many styles of music and create my own musical forms by way of electronic instruments. The tracks on ''Letur-Lefr'' were recorded in 2010 and ''PBX'' was recorded in 2011. ''Letur'' is a compilation, a selected portion of music I made that year while ''PBX'' was conceived as an album, the songs having been recorded in succession. The records are very different from each other."
==Title== According to Frusciante, the EP's title "signifies the transition of two becoming one, notably symbolized by the first song on the album being the sequel to the album's last."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://johnfrusciante.com/article/album-titles|title=Album Titles|first=|date=16 June 2012|publisher=JohnFrusciante.com|author=|access-date=16 August 2012}}</ref>
