The album was recorded March 6-9, 2012 at the Clubhouse Studios in Rhinebeck, NY, just after the band had finished a weeklong stay at the famed Village Vanguard club in NYC. Legendary recording engineer James Farber did both the tracking (at Clubhouse) and mixing (at Shelter Island Sound in NYC) and equally legendary Greg Calbi was the mastering engineer at Sterling Sound. The album was mixed to tape to give a richer, warmer and more analogue sound. We have further ensured that the album is released as part of the Mastered for iTunes program on iTunes for improved sound quality.
