The EP was recorded and mixed over three days at The Plant Studios after Joanna had cancelled three consecutive shows due to a lost voice at the end of her seven-week-long U.S. tour. It contains one previously unreleased song, "Colleen", and new arrangements of two previously released songs; "Clam, Crab, Cockle, Cowrie" from Milk-Eyed Mender and Walnut Whales and "Cosmia" from Ys.
The album title is a pun on the E Street Band, a musical group famous for backing up Bruce Springsteen.
The cover is a photograph by William Eggleston.

gollark: I mean, it has 26 or so countries in it, and if they couldn't in aggregate match the coolness of other countries what hope do they have?
gollark: Yes, but it has to be as cool as countries.
gollark: All COOL countries have their own navigation satellites, so the EU has to be cool and have them too.
