On a Europe tour in the middle of 2004, the group was introduced to the British folk singer Vashti Bunyan in Edinburgh, Scotland, by Kieran Hebden (Four Tet).

Avey Tare, Panda Bear and Deakin are present throughout the entire EP; Geologist, who could not join the tour because of his dayjob, is featured only on the song "Baleen Sample".

[3] The first two songs are outtakes from the Sung Tongs recording sessions, re-recorded with Bunyan.

For No Ripcord, Ben Bollig applauded it as a "luscious and simple ... EP that showcases the best of both artists.
