The band members recorded the album in a basement shower stall that belonged to their manager, Rod Sherwood, who converted the stall into a vocal booth with the aid of a few handy quilts.[citation needed] "Through the Backyards" was the first track to be released as a single, which was included on David Byrne's web-based radio station.[citation needed]
