Recorded in Austin, Texas, and New York City, the album's 10 tracks combine Choffel's depth of songwriting with an array of musical talent, from special guests Big Sam's Funky Nation and pianist Davíd Garza, to producer/musician Danny Reisch (White Denim, Okkervil River). Choffel, whose signature voice floats on a spectrum between Feist and Erykah Badu, is sole writer on all but two songs, mingling R&B, reggae, pop and jazz into a thrilling and distinct sound that reflects her broad influences spanning Peter Tosh to Patty Griffin.
