Digital cover

The EP was recorded during the sessions Out of Our Minds during 2007 and 2008 and produced by Auf der Maur, Jordon Zadorozny and Chris Goss. Auf der Maur self-financed the recording and released the EP as a digital download package and limited edition 7" record. Auf der Maur embarked on a six date North American and European tour to support the EP's release. Upon its release, the EP received positive reviews but failed to chart. Following its release, Auf der Maur was signed to PHI, a multimedia production company based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The title is a quote from Canadian Tommy Douglas, who said "...if only [humankind] could walk the earth like a man, this would be paradise."
