This is the only EP included here, due to its inextricable link with the proper Black Sheep Boy album, and the fact that it served as something of a template for The Stand Ins. The album revolves around a motif established in the album’s opening salvo “Missing Children,” as a wobbly keyboard line and gossamer strings eerily saw as Sheff intones, “Kids grow up and kids get numb/ And kids it’s coming, kids it’s going to come.” After the grand catharsis of Black Sheep Boy, this is something of an opportunity to reinforce some thematic gaps. “No Key, No Plan” is a particularly reckless barnstormer, while the grandiose “Last Love Song for Now” repeats the refrain from “Missing Children” as if it’s a mantra, foreshadowing the themes of losing touch with the innocence of childhood that Sheff would revisit on albums to come.
