Beautiful Rat Sunset is likely named after the cover image, created by Mark Givens as described in the liner notes.
We are Rosanne, Amy, John, Sara, and Raaachel [sic]. We recorded these songs in Summer 1993 here in California. Bob Durkee sequenced them; Steve Kronk engineered the first one. The cover is an original artwork by Mark GIVENS so thank you Mark for the nice painting. The model for the cover was Mr. Do so thank you Joel for Mr. Do.
