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 ok.
