The album was recorded outside Barcelona with a group of musicians introduced to Enigk by a mutual friend from Seattle and produced by Santi Garcia and Standstill's Ricky Falkner.

Concerning Enigk's old band, Sunny Day Real Estate, he told billboard.com, "We never really broke up -- we just said we'd take a break and that we'll get back to it when we're ready. But we've just not talked about it since. It may happen one day."
