Content
editThe album was recorded at an Airbnb in Jacksonville, Florida, where Bryan was stationed at the time in the US Navy. It was produced by Leo Alba, and included contributions from Bryan's friends. Mattresses were put around the walls "to improve the sound".[2] A 2023 assessment by Stereogum's Rachel Brodsky described it as "bare-bones as it gets, with Bryan recording in AirBnBs with just himself and a guitar".[1]
