The band’s songwriters and co-founders, John Linnell and John Flansburgh, recorded the 15-track LP with their longtime live band: drummer Marty Beller, bassist Danny Weinkauf and lead guitarist Dan Miller. Co-producer-mixer Patrick Dillett helped track the album at New York City’s newly created Reservoir Studios, formerly Skyline Studios, where the group tracked their signature, platinum-selling 1990 record, Flood.
