To reassemble to EP, download the songs and order by this track listing:

1. Run To Daylight**

3. Life As Hobby*
4. Things That Aren't Comets*
5. Theme From Lucky Guy**
6. Deeper & Deeper**
7. Slim Jims & Tab*
8. Floaters**

Here's what Mark Jenkins at the Washington Post had to say about the EP on Jan. 14, 2004 prior to Kowtow playing at Iota with Josh Lederman Y Los Diablos:

The title of Kowtow Popof's latest release, "Kowtow Drops the Pop Off," doesn't go far enough. The Rockville musician should drop the entire name, which is surely scaring away listeners. Far from the unlistenable eccentric his tag suggests, K.P. is a skilled songwriter, arranger and producer. Neither a rock purist nor a electronica zealot, he crafts music that balances songcraft with samples and swooshes.
"Kowtow Drops the Pop Off" previews eight selections from two upcoming albums, one of songs and another of instrumentals. Remarkably, K.P. is good at both. The disc's grabbers are "Higher" and "Life as a Hobby," both tuneful, slightly bluesy rockers that favor guitar over synths. Yet such instrumentals as "Run to Daylight" and the theremin-embellished "Theme From Lucky Guy" aren't mere filler. Any guy who can invoke Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" while singing about "Slim Jims & Tab" over a tick-tock electrobeat is not about to be typecast.
