Most of this album was recorded after 67 Car Commercials and before the January 2007 project.  Almost all of the songs were recorded from scratch in the studio, as a kind of in-process way of working, instead of having songs already written that needed to be recorded.  This process led to some very diverse songwriting with quite a few very good songs, including one of Essex Chanel's best, American Dream.  29 songs were recorded during the sessions, and 19 were put on the final CD.
