It was produced and mixed by Valgeir Sigurðsson at Greenhouse Studios in Reykjavík and released on the Bedroom Community label.

[8] Amidon had recorded his first album of songs, But This Chicken Proved Falsehearted, with his childhood friend Thomas Bartlett, at their apartment in Harlem.

David Fricke, writing in Rolling Stone Magazine, said that “In an era of overheated Nick Drake comparisons, Amidon is eerily close to the real thing, singing in a fragile but certain tenor against the deep breath and soft sweep of Nico Muhly’s orchestrations.

Producer Valgeir Sigurðsson worked on both records; he conjures a similar, pregnant resonance here around Amidon’s voice and plucked-wire guitar — a public domain that is all inner space.”[11] Musician Glen Hansard has written that the album “brings me huge comfort – it speaks across time somehow.

Sam has taken some very old traditional folksongs and reworked them into new and delicate phrasings… I revisit this album over and over again.”[12] Produced, recorded and mixed by Valgeir Sigurðsson Wind/brass/string arrangements by Nico Muhly
