 Recorded in Muncie over Christmas break when I had the house to myself.  An attempt to do an album in one day. Turned into two days. Wrote and recorded the music on the first, wrote and record vocals on the second. Did all drums first, straight through. Then just made stuff up over it. Except  "sloop of war" and "crying." Josh Seib on those two (recorded at a different time in Muncie).
