After the success of Army Navy's self-released debut album, the band entered 2010 with their strongest batch of songs to date. They were able to self-finance the recording of their second album, and once again called upon producer and engineer Adam Lasus (Clap Your Hands Say Yeah) to help bring the songs to life. The band worked for six months, pouring their hearts into an album with intricate arrangements, beautiful sounds, layered melodies, and tight harmonies.
