Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band under the name Thee Silver Mountain Reveries.

The name the band assumed for this EP was temporary; they have since reverted to using Thee Silver Mt.

Ian Ilavsky, usually one of the band's guitarists, plays drums.

When recording was complete, the EP was played on a boombox and rerecorded from that, giving it a rough sound.

[3] On the track, "There's a River in the Valley Made of Melting Snow", the Hebrew lyric, "baruch atta adonai" (ברוך אתה אדוני), means "bless the Lord".
