The 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 in April 2007. A 15-venue tour took place between July and August 2007 to promote the EP.

The digital format of the EP was released on 23 July 2007, with the hard copy planned to be released a week later on 30 July with a bonus ten-track live album and fold-out ouija board. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, the hard copy release was pushed back to 3 September.
