John Andrew Fredrick has written and released seventeen The Black Watch albums, creating sparkling, literate, jangly-distorted indie rock since the LA band's inception in 1988 (as well as four works of comedic literary fiction and one book on the early films of Wes Anderson). For this record, Fredrick had the idea of letting producer-friends Scott Campbell, Rob Campanella, (producer for The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Beachwood Sparks, Dead Meadow), and Andy Creighton be his band and record the album. "I have had, I think, too much control, musically speaking, in the past," Fredrick says, "and the thought of experimenting this way was really thrilling." The result was far from a failure, in fact this approach may have yielded The Black Watch's best album in years. CD version comes in a gatefold sleeve.
