Performance was recorded across various live events between 2020 and 2022. With the pandemic limiting the band's ability to perform the Set the Weather Fair album during its release, by the time Dobson and Graveson returned to the stage they had reconfigured much of the material, stripping it back to core themes and allowing space for improvisation.
This EP reflects this context shift out of studio isolation and back into public performance, where live musicianship and expression can take control of the music again.
Dobson writes about the tracks and the band's approach to live performance in the liner notes.
