Album Info

Release Date: 2020-03-19

Label: People Suck Music

Track 15 contains a hidden track following 21 seconds of silence - Modern Day Medicis. The song contains lyrics dedicated to high level donors of the album's Indegogo campaign.

Paired with Too Much Joy - Moar Misteaks, which contains album outtakes.

Notes:
We weren't really planning on making another record; this album only exists because 2020 sucked so goddamn much.

Our humble hope is that, since it now exists, it can make whatever year you're listening to it in suck a little bit less.

(Tommy would like it known he disagrees with the opinions expressed in "Something to Drink About" A lot Tim would like it known that he thinks Tommy's drums on that song rock pretty hard regardless, and he is glad they negotiated this qualifier instead of having to replace them with a drum machine, which was Tommy's other compromise suggestion.)

Produced and mixed by William Wittman, with numerous admittedly annoying change requests from the rest of us.

"Just Around the Bend" mixed by Jim Eno

Recorded at Riverworks, Hobo Sound and various band members' houses between late May and early October, 2020. Engineered by William Wittman, Leo Blumenfield, Matt Noble, James Frazee and Anu Kirk.

About the limited edition CD:
All 15 tracks on a compact disc, along with a 12-page booklet containing lyrics, credits and photos.

Also comes with a digital download of the songs, and a digital version of the booklet.

We have a very limited number of these, which will not be sold in stores, and are unlikely to be repressed when they run out.
