Produced by Jimi Zhivago, engineered by Brian Thorn, and mixed at NYC's Magic Shop. Featuring cello by Julia Kent (Antony and the Johnsons) & drums by Blake Fleming (Mars Volta).

"Speaking of the past, that first album which you self released in 2003 but actually recorded back in 1999, is really remarkable in the way that you honestly and matter-of-factly sing about guys – songs like ‘Wonderboy’ and ‘XY Boy’. Not everyone would be comfortable doing that with their first release." - John Norris
