The Edge of the Earth is an extended play by American rock band Switchfoot, released digitally on September 9, 2014 through lowercase people/Atlantic.[4] It consists of previously unreleased songs from Switchfoot's rock documentary film Fading West.[5]

The EP has debuted at number 39 on the US Billboard 200 chart, and reached top 10 positions on Billboard Christian Albums, Soundtrack Albums and Top Alternative Albums charts.

Songs

The first song on the record, "Fading West", is the only track that had been previously released, as the song was included on the physical edition of the Fading West EP, which was released in September 2013.

The second track, "Against the Voices", has been a "long-time fan favorite,"[6] as the song was first played by the band live in 2010. However, it hadn't made the cut for Switchfoot's two previous full-length albums, Vice Verses (2011) and Fading West (2014).[3]

According to the band, the song "What It Costs" marked the first song recording for which bassist Tim Foreman provided lead vocals, replacing his brother Jon Foreman.[6]
