The collection of songs, which Ritter calls his version of lullabies, came from a recent writing session. The songs didnΓΓé¼Γäót fit with the tracks Josh Ritter was writing for his still-untitled forthcoming album. As he described it, the tracks were ΓΓé¼┼ôstrays,ΓΓé¼┬¥ but thatΓΓé¼Γäós not all they had in common. Every track on album contains the word ΓΓé¼┼ôdarlingΓΓé¼┬¥ at some point. In bringing the collection of songs together, Ritter had his title for the EP: Bringing in the Darlings. ΓΓé¼┼ôIt always kind of rolls off the tongue,ΓΓé¼┬¥ Ritter told Paste about the reoccurring word. ΓΓé¼┼ôIt certainly fits in the songs, I think itΓΓé¼Γäós a plaintive word. I imagine, what would a cowboy say to a longhorn?ΓΓé¼┬¥ To Ritter, the songs felt immediate and ΓΓé¼┼ôsmall,ΓΓé¼┬¥ so he wanted to make sure those qualities transferred to the recording process.

Ritter, whoΓΓé¼Γäós known for sonically impressive records like The Animal Years and So Runs the World Away, decided to take a more direct route to record the songs that appear on Bringing in the Darlings. ΓΓé¼┼ôAs time goes on, itΓΓé¼Γäós good to remember that recording is not necessarily a long process,ΓΓé¼┬¥ Ritter said. ΓΓé¼┼ôItΓΓé¼Γäós always a fun process, and what youΓΓé¼Γäóre trying to do is balance the art form of the recording with the excitement of recording it. I think thereΓΓé¼Γäós a certain spark when somethingΓΓé¼Γäós written and it rolls off the tongue easily, and you can always hear the personΓΓé¼Γäós excitement when itΓΓé¼Γäós happening.ΓΓé¼┬¥ The albumΓΓé¼Γäós six songs were recorded in three days in a small studio in Brooklyn called Homeward Sound. As they were recorded, Ritter didnΓΓé¼Γäót really have plans for the tracks, but the idea of a small, surprise release became more and more appealing. ΓΓé¼┼ôSuddenly the songs were here,ΓΓé¼┬¥ Ritter said. ΓΓé¼┼ôI thought it would be a really fun project to do something that was secret and was just pick up and go.ΓΓé¼┬¥
The songs that appear on Bringing in the Darlings are exclusive to the EP and wonΓΓé¼Γäót appear on RitterΓΓé¼Γäós forthcoming album.
