That's the Short and Long of It is an EP by New Zealand band Tall Dwarfs, released in 1985.[3][4]

Reception

Spin said, "With sparse, careful production, each track takes on an otherwordly identity. Nothing pretentious, pompous, or theatrical, even though the Dwarfs practically have an orchestra within the band. It has a delicate atmosphere that seems lifted from old Beatles LPs."[5]
