The Day of the Dead EP is a compilation of weekly singles that the Flatbush Zombies released in 2014 and 2015. The first five songs in the tracklisting were released consecutively in the spring of 2014, while the latter four were released on a weekly basis in March of the following year. The group alluded in the descriptions of some of these singles that some of the songs were intended for an EP, It’s All a Matter of Perspective. That EP was ultimately scrapped. Alternatively, they could have decided at some point along the way to release all the songs intended for IAAMOP as part of the Day of the Dead series. Either way, fans still received an EP’s worth of music. Another single intended for IAAMOP, “LiT,” was also released in early 2014. However, “LiT” is not considered part of DOTD, as it was released nearly two months before the other singles and its cover artwork does not bear the words “Day of the Dead” like the other nine songs.
