This EP features tracks from The Loud Family's debut album, " Plants and Birds and Rocks and Things", as well as some live in the studio tracks recorded at WNUR-FM in San Francisco.

"Back of a Car" is a cover of a song by Big Star, while "Erica's Word" is a cover of a song by Loud Family leader Scott Miller's earlier band, Game Theory. Michael Quercio, leader of The Three O'Clock and sometime member of Game Theory, plays bass on "The Come On".

The EP's title alludes to William Butler Yeats's poem The Second Coming, which ends with the line "And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?" The Loud Family's usage is a nod to both Scott Miller's literary interests and to the hometown of the group's forebears The Beatles.
