Recorded before Travis's 26th birthday, for he felt he would always die during his 25th year, Essex Chanel's sophomore album is a smorgasbord of diverse songwriting. Travis's studio at the time consisted of 2 microphones, and he had been playing his newly aquired drumset since January 2006, which gives this album a very raw feel to it. The production and arranging really blossom from Siren, Essex Chanel's first album, and show us what's more to come. Travis chose all the best songs he had at the time and recorded them for this album.
