In Hobart newspaper, The Examiner, on 13 October 1998, former local resident Brumby described the EP to the reporter, "There's a lot more space in the music on Eventide. The songs have got more of an edge and there's also some experimentation with electronica. We thought we'd release the five tracks as a bit of a taste test."[3] She explained that it would provide a "bridge" between her debut album, Thylacine (1997), and her next one.[3]
