I thought it’d be fun to reimagine those tracks and play around with the arrangements a bit. It’s the first time we’ve ever put out an all-acoustic release and it’s great to be able to do it with these songs, which are all pretty special to me. Critter was everything to us. We considered him a member of the band. He had the most artistic and beautiful soul and was such a big part of our lives. He always spoke with such poetry. He was my companion during the making of the first years of AVA. He would drink and dance in the studio parking lot to these songs till 4am. When we started recording these new versions, I couldn’t stop thinking about how much I miss him. His spirit was definitely with us in the studio.”By the time of the EP's recording, the band had now consisted of DeLonge and Ilan Rubin. Sinn left the band in 2007, while Willard left in 2011. From 2014 to 2018, Kennedy had taken a hiatus from the band and would return in the months following the EP's release. Additionally, the band released a lyric video for the acoustic version of "The Adventure", which contained footage of the album's original studio sessions.
