Bunyan was eventually persuaded to take up vocals for all the songs ( with the exception of " Baleen Sample" ). Avey Tare, Panda Bear and Deakin are represented on the entire EP; Geologist, who was unable to participate in the Tour due to his working hours, is also just on the song " Baleen Sample" represented. It took them three days to record three songs.
The first two songs are actually outtakes from recording sessions for Sung Tongs, but they were re-recorded with Bunyan.
