Track listing
| # | Title | Time |
| Total time: | 1:11:13 | |
Released June 6, 2025
This album was recorded between July 2014 and August 2015, with the exceptions of track 6, which has recent contributions from 2022, and track 10, which was recorded in 2018. Some songs were recorded with the same equipment as Real Men, in high quality (not really), while others were recorded on Jaden's handheld cassette recorder. Tracks 3, 4, and 7 were improvised. The rest are rehearsed songs. The process of restoring and remastering began in 2022, and ended in 2025.
The middle part of track 3, and the majority of track 7, originally appeared on a Culture Chester demo called Outer Baseball. Tracks 5 and 8 were originally released on the Newt Grundy album Grim Grape in 2016.
For years and years, it was thought that these songs would never see the light of day. Through various miracles in communication, compassion, and music production, the three of us have agreed on these ten songs to be our final album.
Recorded at Tanner's dad's basement in Ankeny, Iowa, and Jaden's apartment in Indianola, Iowa. Mixed and mastered at Grundy Corral Studios in Iowa City, Iowa.
Special thanks: Huxley, Wesley, Troy, Adnan, David, Mathias, Kaylee, Allegra, Chuck, Jeff, Brenda, Patrick
