In the Garden EP was the first release from psychosis rock band The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster since Andy Huxley departed the band and was replaced by Rich Fownes in 2005. Demo recordings of some of the tracks from the EP were released on the band's MySpace page back in April 2007. A 15-venue tour took place between July and August to promote the EP.

The digital format of the EP was released on July 23, with the hard copy planned to be released a week later on July 30, with a bonus ten track, live album and ouija board. However due to unforeseen circumstances, the hard copy release was pushed back to September 3.
