John Dwyer's previous band Yikes recorded a song called "Putrifiers" for their 2006 album Secrets to Superflipping.
[10] This song had also had an influence on the Thee Oh Sees' "Ghost In The Trees" from 2008's The Master's Bedroom Is Worth Spending a Night In.
"[12] Guest musicians on the album included Heidi Alexander from The Sandwitches,[13] who recorded additional vocals and trumpet, and Mikal Cronin who played saxophone.
[16] Additionally, a larger collection of twenty demos was released as a standalone album for digital music retailers.
One of the demos, "Wait Let's Go" was not included on Putrifiers II, but was re-recorded for the band's 2012 split single with The Mallard.
