This EP is an expanded version of the 12″ single released by WYR? in mid-2007 (and by Vice in the UK in early 2008). In addition to the original 18-minute title track and the flipside, ?The Black Hats,? there are three edits of the title track and three unreleased tracks.

Year Of The Pig is the second in a series of songs based on the Chinese zodiac. It is about the plight of sex workers in Canada. The initial release, and a companion concert, generated $4,000 for a prostitution rights charity in Toronto. Featuring keyboards, an ethereal female guest vocal and multiple, interlocking musical sections, it is Fucked Up's most ambitious work to date.
