"Most of Angi's previous albums are piano-based, so I wanted this one to
have minimum piano on it," Kauffman explains. "Usually things are more
compelling when you're out of your comfort zone." A creative producer,
Kauffman varied his approach, "She brought in a few songs on harmonium and
banjo, so we tried to fully realize those with live, almost
field-recording-like takes. This batch of songs was very original and had
some cool elements we tried to bring to the forefront; using unique,
sometimes bizarre instrumentation and production." For example, "I have this
weird, 1970's Baldwin Discoverer organ, that cool drum machine beats and
Beach House-esque sounds. Most of the songs feature that organ, with her
singing and playing live, all on one track."

Overall Kauffman says, "The album was cut in quite a relaxed, organic
nature. Angi usually got songs on their first or second take. I added some
overdubs, and she did some of the vocals at Brian Landrum's Synergy Dynamics
studio, the whole album took less that a week total."
