The songs for this album were written and produced over about a year. This collection of songs is the result of a long-held wish to make an album that explores themes around the climate crisis.

The album was recorded, mixed, and produced in my bedroom studio, and mastered by the amazing Tom Capek at Colorado Sound Studios in Westminster, CO.

First and foremost, huge thanks to my parents David and Patricia Murray, whose generosity made it possible for me to dedicate the amount of resources and time into this project that I did, and without which this album would've have taken much longer. Thanks to my Dad also for the beautifully reworked Goya guitar used on this album. Thanks to my brother Christian, who gave me the computer and Ableton software I used for this and my previous album. Thanks to Rayleigh Rask for generously giving his nice mics, stands, and cables, which helped me obtain better results in the recording process. Thanks to Daniel Luthjohn for kindly giving his nice studio monitors to help the mixing process.

Special thanks to Bob Reganess for the sage advice and words of encouragement as I was embarking on this project. Big thanks to Graphic Grim, aka Cisco Mendoza, of Las Vegas, NM, for swiftly and generously lending his amazing rap skills to "Parachutes." His rap was the quickest and most flawless thing that happened on this album, lol.

There are also several people I'd like to thank who helped me develop my mixing skills during the course of the album. Daniel Luthjohn in Longmont, who gave lots of great advice on EQ, compressors, reverb buses, etc. Chicago-based producer Michael Downing of Signal-to-Noise, who helped me restore the dynamic range of the album by pointing out the need to leave more headroom for mastering and to boost the vocals. Tommy Von in Denver, for always generously being there when I have a question, showing me how to work with Ableton, and his helpful advice on best preparing the mixes for mastering. Josh Shirt in Ft. Collins, for the timely advice on working with compressors during the mixing process.

Big thanks to Tom Capek at Colorado Sound Studios for the beautiful mastering job, his generosity with his time and knowledge, and the Chipotle. He got more juice from the final mixes than I knew they had in them, and it was great getting to see a seasoned pro at work. Thanks to Jess Lambert for helping make the session a reality.

Big thanks to Brian Paul Smith at Boulder Fine Art Reproduction, for generously providing a high quality art scan of the album cover and bringing his keen eye to some really nice edits for the final image.

Thanks to the Boulder-in-the-Round songwriting workshop crew, who helped keep me motivated and focused to write the songs that became this album. Thanks to Karin & Pedro DiGiacomo for all the generosity, company, and wide-ranging music conversations. I'd also like to thank everyone who gave a word of encouragement or asked how the album was coming along. It meant a lot!

And thank you to everyone supporting my music.
