Album Notes

It is hard to express the level to which this album has been a collaborative work. We have been adopted by a wonderful artistic community, to whom we owe a great deal. The world’s greatest musicians, Pine Language, Norman, Casey Hurt, the Vicious Kisses, and the Angry Orts have provided great support and inspiration. We would like to express our deepest gratitude to the HomeSkillet Records family for their support over the last two years. Thank you to Gabe, Todd, Joy, Alison, Nathan, and Mark for their photographs and artwork. Thanks to Randy Hughey for the studio shed and to Hank and Dan for lending us the gear to fill it. We must also thank Linfield College and its community for helping to make this album possible. A huge thank you to Murder By Death for allowing us to borrow their beautiful words. And finally, our deepest thanks to our friend, Danny P-Magic Jones at Marigold Digital, for his wonderful patience, talent, creativity, and demeaning sarcasm in the studio.

This album is dedicated to Family Mexican Restaurant in Seattle, Taqueria El Zorro in San Francisco and every Muchas Gracias in between.
