The record was recorded over a period of THREE YEARS at April Base Studios in Fall Creek, Wisconsin. Sean Carey, Mike Noyce and Matt McCaughan all contributed vocals, as well as drums and production. Rob Moose added some arrangements and strings and Jim Schoenecker and Tom Wincek provided "processing" - whatever that is. Even more people contribute other stuff, including Greg Leisz, Colin Stetson, Mike Lewis and CJ Camerieri. More news as and when we get it.
