Patterson Hood's first solo record in over a decade was born out of a friendship with producer Chris Funk (The Decemberists).

The pair would often perform together for fun and during Hood's solo tours, making far-off plans to
make a record together. They eventually went into Jackpot Studios in Portland.

Many of the songs were composed on piano marking a bigger departure from his work with Drive-By Truckers than prior solo efforts.

Guest appearances from: Waxahatchee, Wednesday and Lydia Loveless.
