The Initial Friend EP was the first release put out by Los Angeles–based rock band Rilo Kiley. It was initially a self-titled release that was put out by the band independently in 1999. They re-pressed it with altered artwork and track-listing in 2000, and then did the same thing again for a third pressing in 2001. All three releases commonly sell on eBay for between $250–400 and are fairly rare.

"Frug" and "85" were included in the soundtrack to the Christina Ricci film Desert Blue, which led to the band's heightened popularity and eventual signing to a record label.

"Frug" was later included as the final song on the band's B-sides and rarities compilation, Rkives.
