The group also released a second E.P. entitled "Bat Vs. Bird" in 2008, consisting of material recorded in 2000.[3] It contained 4 songs and totaled about 9 minutes. "Bat Vs. Bird," with its more prominent percussion (as opposed to the subdued backbeats of "The Age of Backwards") and overall "full band" sound, was more of a promise of what was to come from Wild Flag, which is composed of Mary Timony, Carrie Brownstein, Janet Weiss, and Rebecca Cole.
