Beau says about the album:

“I needed some intrigue. I challenged myself to make something new during the weird year that was 2020. I enjoy writing songs with different people, and felt interested in what would happen if I had to keep the instrumentation spare. I sent lyrics out to friends, they sent back demos, and most of it was recorded with no rehearsal. I accepted the keys and tempos my collaborators offered, though I enjoyed figuring in little musical touches and additional players throughout. Some things were hard to get right; I sang and Ralph Loza edited in bits and pieces over several months. Some things just rolled out like cake in single takes. I live within walking distance of the studio, and despite some COVID cancellations, the project moved along at a steady pace. Ralph was very open, very easy to record with. There’s a bucket of things we tried and didn’t use — some whole songs got considered and set aside. Perhaps we will hear them later… This is an evening of music: Two sets and two encores. If you are reading this, listen one set at a time. It's like a side B and a side A, in LP terms, with those juicy encores for dessert. I would love to hear how it strikes you. I mostly think we can always do something. I had fun.”
