It consists of songs written and recorded by John Darnielle. Darnielle has stated that most, if not all, of the album was written in Grinnell, IA. Most of the songs were performed by Darnielle singing and playing guitar solo, and recorded on his Panasonic RX-FT500 boom box; however, several songs also feature stringed instrumentation from Alastair Galbraith. Nothing Painted Blue's Peter Hughes adds backing vocals and guitar work on a few tracks as well.

gollark: Oh, hmm, 20 according to my out of date list, oh dear.
gollark: I run about 15 random bits of somewhat important software at this point and don't actually have an up to date list.
gollark: For a bit I tried doing a thing where my server config was stored in git and I could just run scripts to recreate it on a new install, but this was too annoying and by now I've accumulated so many arbitrary ad-hoc fixes.
gollark: Oh, config files, right.
gollark: I have separate data and system partitions for that, see.
