Here Comes That Weird Chill EP is a preview of Bubblegum by Mark Lanegan. The primary vocal version of "Sleep With Me", track 8 on the UK release, was omitted from the North American pressing.
In his 2017 book I Am the Wolf: Lyrics & Writings, Lanegan states that the songs on Here Comes that Weird Chill were recorded at the same time as the material that would be included on his next album Bubblegum:
For months I had been using off-time from my gig as an auxiliary singer for Queens of the Stone Age to try and complete a record, but as usual, my own insanity would not allow it. When it was all said and done, I recorded enough for two records, with the title for the first coming from something Greg Dulli said while shuddering involuntarily in the sudden cold wind walking to my car after a Twilight Singers recording session...
In the same book Lanegan singles out "Skeletal History" as a favorite, noting "I tried to channel the free form vocalisms of SST band Saccharine Trust to chart the skewed evolution of my own damaged species." The album also includes a cover of the Captain Beefheart song "Clear Spot."
James Christopher Monger of AllMusic states, "Ex-Screaming Trees frontman Mark Lanegan growls his way through 'Methamphetamine Blues' like Small Change-era Tom Waits singing something off of Mule Variations...The sound is a bit muddy throughout and the vocals are often treated excessively, but considering the "extras" tag these are minor gripes, especially when assaulted by the machine gun imagery that snakes its way through 'Skeletal History.'"
All tracks are written by Mark Lanegan except where noted.
