The songs "405 (Acoustic)" and "Company Calls Epilogue (Alternate Take)" are an acoustic version and remix, respectively, of two songs from Death Cab for Cutie's second album, We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes, which was released earlier the same year.

Artwork

Regarding the EP's cover, Benjamin Gibbard noted that he "always wanted to have a release and have that photo be the cover and we took the pictures a long time ago when we were in college. When we pulled them out they didn't look like what we thought they were going to look and they didn't look as good. So we had to kind of change the contrast and make it look really shitty. To be perfectly honest it didn't turn out as good as we wanted it to. But it's an EP. It serves a purpose, and I think the label wishes they could have done more. It's not aesthetically our best release, but it's okay."

gollark: The interfaces could use some work, sure.
gollark: Imagine trying to secure a computer system where you can randomly have code injected into important programs.
gollark: They have a really tricky job and are fairly good at it.
gollark: Very well, yes.
gollark: I could use orbital laser cooling on you, but is messing with the evolved mechanisms of the immune system like that *really* a good idea?
