This is the final recording (and posthumus release) from LA rock band YOUR HORRIBLE SMILE. The record was initially born of a chance meeting between YHS and soon-to-be producer Jason Wormer at a one-off acoustic benefit concert in Hollywood during fall of 2005.

Jason became interested in working on the project, and brought it to the attention of executive producer and studio manager Jeff Greenberg, who gave the go-ahead for the production and recording of the EP.

Pre-production began in the following months, with well known LA session drummer ADAM MARCELLO finally taking the reigns just 2 weeks before tracking began at the world-renown VILLAGE STUDIOS in Santa Monica, CA.

Basic tracking was completed in 3 days in Studio D, with large portions of the record done live in the studio. Vocals and additional guitar was recorded over the next two months: followed by 5 days of mixing in Studio B during mid-Feb. '07.

2 additional songs, "Cry Wolf" and "Emancipation" were recorded but not included in the final release.
