It was self-produced by the band with Ed Deegan engineering, all except track 9, "Tri'elle", which was culled from the band's original sessions at Fortress Studio with Chicago-based Avant-Garde musician Bobby Conn.

The band formed in 2001, and for the first few years of their existence, they played small gigs in local venues.

It was supposed to be released in 2002 but the band had to wait 18 months for drummer Ross Jarman to turn 18, otherwise they would have to spend money they didn't have to rewrite their recording contract.
