The demo for the album was recorded at Bore Gardsrockeri, an old potato cellar in Klepp in Jæren/Norway, throughout the years 2012 and 2013. The lyrics were mostly written by Terje Winterstø Røthing. The Norwegian singer/songwriter Tønes contributes to the record, singing on the song Sånne som deg.[2]

The first single Voodoo was released on November 11, 2013, and was accompanied by a marketing stunt where fans could hand in an old plastic guitar in exchange for a vinyl single. [3]

gollark: I may actually be overestimating it, because averaged out I only have 4 hours of lessons a day (free periods + sports + etc).
gollark: I counted that, yes.
gollark: It filters out one guild on which I discuss somewhat real-world things, filters out DMs, removes pings, and reads the messages.csv files, as well as producing a CSV output for aitextgen.
gollark: ```python#!/usr/bin/env python3import os, os.path, json, csv, reOUT = "/tmp/messages.csv"with open(OUT, "w") as g: outwriter = csv.writer(g) DATA_ROOT = "/tmp/messages" for x in os.listdir(DATA_ROOT): dir = os.path.join(DATA_ROOT, x) if os.path.isdir(dir): with open(os.path.join(dir, "channel.json")) as f: meta = json.load(f) if meta["type"] == 0 and ("guild" not in meta or meta["guild"]["id"] != "771081279403065344"): print(x, meta.get("name", "???"), meta.get("guild", "???")) with open(os.path.join(dir, "messages.csv")) as f: r = csv.reader(f) for row in r: channel, timestamp, message, _ = row message = re.sub("<@[0-9]+>", "", message) outwriter.writerow((message, ))```
gollark: And the messages folder → CSV dumper is something like 20 lines of python.
