Production

According to the band, the album was influenced by their California roots, as well as the album Holland by The Beach Boys. The album features the four core CVB members: David Lowery on rhythm guitar and lead vocals, Jonathan Segel on violin, guitar, mandolin, keyboards and backing vocals, Victor Krummenacher on bass and baritone guitar, and Greg Lisher on lead guitar. Most of the drumming on the album is handled by studio drummer Michael Urbano, a former member of Lowery's other band Cracker, although former CVB drummer Chris Pedersen also plays drums on "Too High For the Love-In" and the title track. The band's then-regular live drummer Frank Funaro, also a member of Cracker, does not appear on the album, although he is pictured in a band photograph.

"La Costa Perdida" is Spanish for "The Lost Coast," which Lowery uses as a metonym for the bulk of California's North Coast, between Stinson Beach and Arcata.[2]

gollark: It is weird that kristpay has everyone on the server use one shared wallet, though.
gollark: The admins here are pretty good and I trust them to not utterly mess things up for the server, but I wouldn't trust this for, say, real-world financial transactions.
gollark: They do freeze accounts sometimes I think.
gollark: I don't know if they *have* actually used their admin powers for much, but it's important to know that it is not actually a cryptocurrency and is centrally controlled.
gollark: Krist is not exactly a cryptocurrency, also. The admins can do basically whatever.
