This Desert is the debut extended play (EP) by American electronic music duo The Hundred in the Hands. It was released on May 17, 2010 by Warp.[4] In an interview with Spinner, band member Jason Friedman said, "As we finished the EP and album, we saw that we had two different sounds. The EP is more washed-out with reverb and delays, and the album is crisper and more immediate, like 'Dresden.'"[5] Two songs from the EP, "Tom Tom" and "Sleepwalkers", were included as bonus tracks on the iTunes edition of the duo's eponymous debut album.[6]
