about

This album was engineered, mixed, & edited by the masterful Jonathan Lorman from July 2004 to July 2006 in livingrooms, dormrooms, bathrooms, & hallways throughout North Jersey and Baltimore. "Speeding", which was recorded by Greg and Alex on their four-track in 2001, is the only exception. Both digital and analog media were used in this recording. Any sonic inconsistencies are artifacts of tape. Those that are not are intentional.
