The album is composed of mostly impromptu recordings, thrown together for this explicit purpose. The Saddle Creek web site explains it as follows:

Old favorites, new faces, and friends of Saddle Creek recorded these 13 tracks in bedrooms, basements, kitchens, living rooms, and even in a couple of studios. The album was put together in one week. It's a menagerie of mostly new songs, a few tracks that should have made it onto albums but for whatever reason didn't, a couple of B-sides, a demo song – whatever people could contribute.[2]

Most of the currently active bands on the label contributed a track, including Saddle Creek's most popular bands (The Faint, Bright Eyes) and also some newer additions to the label (Two Gallants, for example).

gollark: Also, Alpine Linux is quite cool?
gollark: Hmm, OCaml is actually cool and good apart from libraries being lacking.
gollark: The project name for logos monitoring and neutralization if necessary is NUMERATE POLYMERS.
