Recording and release

The EP was recorded at Skylab Recording Studios in Gainesville, Florida. The material on the EP was written in vocalist Jeremy McKinnon's garage, and was recorded all in one day live-in-studio. Samples of tracks titled "Camo", "Second Guess" and "Heartless" were posted online around the same time.

The band self-released the EP, it was limited to 2,000 copies. The EP helped the band get signed to Indianola. The cover art was adapted for the 2008 re-release of the band's For Those Who Have Heart (2007) album. In 2012, guitarist Neil Westfall said the band had no plans to re-release the EP. A music video for "Breathe Hope in Me" was directed by Daniel Harrison and filmed during the band's high school days. The video was leaked onto the internet in April 2011.
