Background

The recordings began in January 2011. Basic tracks had just begun when bassist Paul Hoaglin was fired from the band in February; however, Hoaglin was asked to complete the recording of the album, including a final series of backing tracks sessions recorded in August of that year. Hoaglin also contributed additional overdubs from home, including acoustic guitar, pedal steel, flute, clarinet, and backing vocals. Renowned virtuoso bassist Scott Thunes replaced Hoaglin in the band beginning in March 2011.[5] Work on vocal tracks for, "Broken Open", "The Isle Not of Man" and "Best Friend in Town" commenced in July 2011.[6] Producer, David Simon-Baker stated in August 2011 that he was working with the Mother Hips on their follow up record to Pacific Dust.[7] In March 2012, it was confirmed that the mixing process would soon be taking place.[8] In May 2013, the band issued a press release via Propeller Publicity confirming the record's name and release date.[9]
