Background
Regarding the songs included on So Outta Reach, Kurt Vile stated: "There are a lot of songs on there that I wanted to fit on [Smoke Ring for My Halo], like "The Creature." I really wanted to get that one on the record."[5]
Artwork
The EP's cover art features a collage of photographs featuring Vile asleep at a party. Regarding the cover, Vile noted, "I went to a party with my wife, and her friend Greg Chow—he's the Asian guy giving the devil horns—took the pictures. I drank too much tequila early on in the party, and he took all these photos and posted them online. Truthfully, I was embarrassed by them at first because I'm self-conscious, but my manager found them and was like, 'That's your cover.' I just laughed. And then he sent it to Matador, and they loved it."[6]
