A fleeting overlap of paths sowed the seed for Brussels based duo 'mccandless' to expand and put some more plugged in ideas to record. It wasn't quick, and it wasn't always pretty but boy was it fun. Mike was just about to set out for London. Max had just returned from Asia. Timing was critical. Quentin popped up out of no where courtesy of Pierre. And Pete? Well Pete's always down for some bass.

The onset was to do one quick song and be done with it. In and out. Pack your bags and go. See you on the other side. But we failed. Oh lord we failed. Five songs don't quite make up a full length album but thirty two minutes of simultaneously smooth and edgy music makes for an ample showcase of this five-piece mccandless.

Recorded live amongst the pottery. Overdubs were thrown in left and right, comments were discussed arguments were had, ambient field recordings were taped in Melbourne, the artwork was designed and it was all mixed and mastered in the Higher Living studio.
