Liner notes

I made this one at home on a four-track during a long stretch of insomnia, with the oven light on and a pot of tea going cold. The band came by on weekends and added what they could. It's smaller than the albums, softer in the corners, and the shouting is mostly held back. I wanted it to sound like a conversation through a wall.
