Album notes

Discogs page for these notes (opens in a new tab)

Notes from the original pressing. Later editions may differ.

We recorded it in November at the Echo Lab in Argyle, Texas, among barred owls, pet donkeys, coyotes, and the ominous sounds of gas wells being drilled in the near distance; rural north Texas retreats as Dallas approaches.
Packaged in a standard jewel case with card 'O-case'.
