The material on this EP was recorded after the departure of the band's original vocalist, Dimitri Minakakis, but before a replacement had been chosen. By the time Mike Patton had recorded vocals and the EP was released, the band had been touring with Minakakis's replacement, Greg Puciato, for nearly a year.
The fourth track is a cover of Aphex Twin's "Come To Daddy (Pappy Mix)".
