Production
Recorded separately in Michigan and New York, Matt and Eleanor each recorded six songs that originally appeared on I'm Going Away. The tracks represent a reworked, rearranged, rewritten versions of the songs. According to the record's page at the Thrill Jockey website, "All that remains the same are the words."{{cite web |url=http://www.thrilljockey.com/catalog/index.html?id=104510 |title=Take Me Round Again by the Fiery Furnaces - Thrill Jockey Records |website=www.thrilljockey.com |access-date=12 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091114072654/http://www.thrilljockey.com/catalog/index.html?id=104510 |archive-date=14 November 2009 |url-status=dead}}
While Matthew described the album as an "alternative version of the record," Eleanor explained:
“I’ve gotten into the habit of rewriting songs Matt has written, just as a way of practicing and singing at home. Originally, I had wanted to record a folk-style record called Eleanor Friedberger sings the songs of the Fiery Furnaces. I thought it would make a nice greatest hits record, but reworking I’m Going Away before it even came out seemed a lot more exciting.”{{cite web |url=http://www.thrilljockey.com/catalog/index.html?id=104510 |title=Take Me Round Again by the Fiery Furnaces - Thrill Jockey Records |website=www.thrilljockey.com |access-date=12 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091114072654/http://www.thrilljockey.com/catalog/index.html?id=104510 |archive-date=14 November 2009 |url-status=dead}}
