The creation of the album began when Skiba moved to Los Angeles and became housemates with Steinbrick. Written primarily in 2004, the album's creation involved a synergistic process with Steinbrick's music laying the foundation for Skiba's lyrics. Producer Ben Lovett and drummer Matthew Compton played key roles in the album's development. The partnership with Epitaph Records for its release was significantly influenced by the label founder's appreciation for the project.[1]
While not strictly categorized as emo, the album shared the characteristic rawness and appeal of modern alternative music in the mid-2000s. The album's tracks, such as "Gardens" and "Counting," displayed a mix of gothic and dark punk elements, making it a distinctive work in the alternative music landscape of the early 21st century.[2]
