The third Desert Sessions EP features songs recorded at Rancho De La Luna in Joshua Tree, California, a studio founded by Fred Drake and Dave Catching, at three different sessions: one by the band Earthlings? in February 1995 ("Sugar Rush"), one by The Desert Sessions between August 8 and 12, 1997 ("Nova" and "Avon") and another by earthlings? in September 1997 ("At the Helm of Hell's Ships"). The album features a total of eight credited musicians: Josh Homme, Peter Stahl (both guitars and vocals), John McBain (guitars), Ben Shepherd (bass), Alfredo Hernández (drums), Catching (guitar and bass), Drake (drums and bass) and Musharitas (vocals). The Desert Sessions tracks were mixed by Homme and the earthlings? tracks were mixed by Drake, with Musharitas co-mixing "Sugar Rush".
