On [[November 18]], [[2020]], Cuomo listed two new sets on his website's [[Riverscuomo.com demos|demo storefront]], titled "The Mother Lode" and "The Mother Lode II", listing dozens of songs not previously featured on the store. After receiving feedback from fans, however, Cuomo decided to delineate the batches of demos by album cycle. On [[November 20]], he listed ''Alone IV: The EWBAITE Years'' to users for the price of $9. Users who purchased the bundle received an e-mail containing a link to a Dropbox folder assembled by Cuomo, consisting of demos and voice notes recorded in the years leading up to the release of ''[[Everything Will Be Alright in the End]]''. Later that day, Cuomo added additional images and documents, followed by several additional demos on [[November 21]]. The bundle was renamed on [[November 22]], 2020 to be ''Alone XII'' and again on November 23 to ''Alone XI''. The bundles contents were modified over the ensuing months. | On [[November 18]], [[2020]], Cuomo listed two new sets on his website's [[Riverscuomo.com demos|demo storefront]], titled "The Mother Lode" and "The Mother Lode II", listing dozens of songs not previously featured on the store.
