The EP includes the Gardener-penned song "Snow in Mexico", on which he is backed by Goldrush, and the Goldrush song "Out of Reach". The third track on the EP is a cover of the song "Dreams Burn Down", featuring Gardener and Goldrush together equally. "Dreams Burn Down" had originally been released by Gardener's earlier band Ride
