The album was allegedly recorded for only $600 in Los Angeles after they had concluded a tour.
Per Cedric
“Before the album, the band had broken up. We did a U.S. tour and we decided to split up. I always needed Jim to be there, but he’d had a falling out with Omar. We’d made a bunch of dumb moves at the time — kicked the drummer who was on the record out, and then the other guitar player — but then Tony and Paul came and played. Omar switched to guitar at the time, because he played bass on that album, so when we played live, it was a lot different. Jim had been listening to a lot of jangly indie rock, stuff like Built to Spill, and that’s what that album sounds like”
