The EP was recorded at Sound Market Studios in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada by Terry Pulliam, who also engineered the recording.
Three songs – "Marcus Said", "Underwhelmed", and "Sugartune" – were also included on the band's first full-length album, Smeared; "Underwhelmed" was entirely re-recorded, while "Marcus Said" and "Sugartune" were remixed versions of the original Peppermint recordings.
Jennifer Pierce of Jale provides additional backing vocals on two songs, "Marcus Said" and "Torn".
The cover is a photo of Jason Larsen, a friend of the band's, after whom the band is named. Larsen was originally called "Slow One" by his French-speaking boss, a nickname which, when said in the boss' French accent, sounded more like "Sloan". | title = Sloan - But sure - Band Name Explained | url= http://www.bandnameexplained.com/2014/10/sloan-band-name-meaning.html | accessdate = 2016-02-14}} Larsen agreed they could name the band after him as long as he was on the cover of their first album.
