Production

The album was recorded at Catbox Studios, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.[6]

Critical reception

Trouser Press wrote: "Toomey and Thomson’s vocal harmonies approach choir-like complexity on 'Lucky' and 'Valentine'; furthermore, the group’s thick, layered arrangements — an intoxicating blur of strummed/dirty guitars, sonorous basslines and catchy melodic hooks — mark Tsunami as pop experimentalists, not ossifying punk rockers."[7]
