[2] Never Ever was produced and mastered by Hammer and released in 2008 through Astro-Base Go, his animation company with Venture Bros. co-writer Christopher McCulloch, and distributed by his former label Projekt Records.

"[7] He noted the influence of post-punk, shoegazing, gothic rock, and new wave acts such as My Bloody Valentine, The Sisters of Mercy, Cocteau Twins, The Cure, and Modern English in the songs.

[7] He praised Kovalcik's drum sound and Hammer's vocals, describing the latter as "gravelly", "ragged", "wistful", "robotic", and "detached", drawing a comparison to Daniel Ash.

[7] Jack Shear of Liarsociety gave the EP four and a half out of five stars, noting the distinction between Weep and Hammer's past projects: "Whereas Requiem in White and Mors Syphilitica both relied upon layers of sound as the backdrop for operatic female vocals, Weep focuses on a driving combination of gothic rock and shoegaze sensibilities and features Hammer’s own reverberating, understated vocals.

"[3] Jared Weiss of View from Heaven remarked that the "dark tone and fuzzy sound" of the music worked well with Hammer's vocals, and named "Lay There and Drown" and "Su Promesa" as highlights of the EP.
