To commence the follow-up to their sophomore breakout, Days, founding members Martin Courtney (guitar/vocals), Matt Mondanile (guitar), and Alex Bleeker (bass/vocals) were joined by new full-time members Jackson Pollis (drums) and Matt Kallman (keyboard) and producer Schick in Chicago this past summer at Wilco's Chicago studio, The Loft. Nineteen songs were recorded in all over a two-week period and the result is the band’s most collaborative, richly detailed album to date.
