Yorn's new album was recorded on the spur-of-the-moment in the summer of 2008. Whilst Pete was working on material for Back & Forth in Nebraska, he got an email from producer Frank Black suggesting they record some tunes. Intrigued by the notion of experimenting with Frank, Yorn hopped on a plane to Salem, Oregon, where the two set up an impromptu studio. The album was recorded in a mere five days, despite Yorn suffering with flu two days in to recording.

“Frank didn’t give a shit about getting sick, so we stayed in the flow,” recalls Pete. “He has an incredible ability to distill a song down to its core.”

Frank recalls: “Pete told me he wanted to better define himself as an artist. I think he just wanted to rock out. But as we headed down a path of realisation I stripped him down a whole bunch. We battled in the best sort of way. I tried to get the session into a fearless and raw place, and to his artistic credit Pete took his songwriting to a fearless and raw place. This listener will find his or herself sitting right next to Pete on the couch. And the record totally rocks out.”
