Recorded in the living room of the Van Nuys, California house the band was living in.
In the opening of “Silver” Nick Hexum can be heard asking his German Shepherd Bobby to stop barking.
The phrase “stranger flowers” in “8:16AM” is a reference to the Jack Kerouac book On the Road.
The French lyrics in “Salsa”, ‘Je vais à la plage parce que la guignol est chouette!’, translates to ‘I go to the beach because the puppet show is cool!’
