Recording and production

Year Long Disaster was recorded at producer James J. Waters' studio Waterworks Recording West in Tucson, Arizona, mixed by Brian Scheuble at The Village in Los Angeles, California, and mastered by Dave Cheppa at Better Quality Sound in Los Angeles.[1] In addition to the band's lineup of Daniel Davies on vocals and guitar, Rich Mullins on bass, and Brad Hargreaves on drums and percussion, the album also features Joey Burns (of Tucson-based band Calexico) on cello and double bass, and Vicki Brown on viola and violin.[1][2]

Critical reception

Media response to Year Long Disaster was mixed. Rick Anderson of AllMusic awarded the album three out of five stars, suggesting that while the band's sound is derivative of their influences (including Led Zeppelin, Cream and Black Sabbath), they "deserve credit for embracing their influences without shame".[3]
