This album was recorded from August 2007 through January 2008 by PTS at the Hox Bot in Brighton, MA. All songs are improvisations. Some were cut up and pieced back together, some were recorded over with more improvisation, some had parts written for them, and some were just left intact as live, one-take. All songs mixed and mastered by Paper Thin Stages. Artwork by Nate McDermott.
