"Hot Sun" lends the first half of its name to Hot Sun Cool Shroud, the EP Wilco released on June 28, 2024, and Jeff Tweedy wrote it alone, words and music. Pat Sansone arranged it, Matt Combs plays cello, viola and violin, and Cate Le Bon, who gets an additional production credit, adds bass and synthesizer; Combs and Sansone recorded it.
Glide's Ryan Dillon heard the EP as a little more experimental and sentimental than the band's 2023 album Cousin, a polished batch of songs that might otherwise have ended up on the cutting-room floor. Paste gave it a 9.0 and rated it above Cousin, and Pitchfork's Stephen M. Deusner, scoring it 8.0, credited the short set with the vision and range of the band's full-lengths.
