*Miguel Urbiztondo- (of the bands Maki and Koester) co-produced and played drums and keyboards.
*Alan Weatherhead- (of the bands Sparklehorse and Maki) engineered and, played guitar and keyboards.
*Johnny Hickman- (of the band Cracker) played lead guitar on the track "Overjoyed."
*Jonathan Sullivan- (of the band Bio Ritmo) played bass.
*Mr. Squirrel- (Miguel's cat) Let everyone know that the session was going well with his presence.

The six songs were written by Emily and she played guitar, keyboards, and sang all vocals.
 

Woven guitar textures both acoustic and electric, melodic lines with a twist and haunting vocals will leave the listener with a new sound that could be running through their heads for days.
