I wrote and recorded all of the songs for this album while I was a grad student at NYU. I think these songs kind of marked the culmination of a certain type of sound that I had been working on, a sound that involved a lot of vocal canons and guitar drones. These were also the first recordings done on my newly-acquired 1/2″ 8-track analog tape machine.

I recorded an alternative version of the song “All In a Day” with my friend Jeremy Greene on drums.
There was also one song, “On The Lam” (multitrack), that never made it onto the album.
During the time I was recording the album, I worked up a version of my old song “Interstate Car Rides” (multitrack) as well.
