Background
The album's basic tracking was conducted at Poonshead Studio in Fremantle, Western Australia in one day. The studio was recommended to the band by Perth band Turnstyle, who were playing a festival with Custard on the same weekend. Drummer Glenn Thompson mixed the album at Horses of Australia Studio Marrickville.
The album cover features the studio's Roland SH-3A synthesizer played by Cowboy John, a drifter who frequented the studio. He can also be heard on recordings by the band Pond.
