The B-side is a new version of "The Past Is A Grotesque Animal" that was made for the Spike Jonze short film I'm Here, in which a fake robot band called The Lost Trees perform the song. The song was re-envisioned by of Montreal chief musician Kevin Barnes, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' guitarist Nick Zinner, and members of the Moonrats.
