Records havel been pressed (10" pressing, mix & mastering by Warren Defever), sorted by color, with inner sleeves printed by I/Ben (on Paul's Riso (thanks Paul!)) at Talking Dolls in Detroit. One Custom City has begun screen printing the poly outer sleeves and we'll be finishing these up over the next coming weeks. These sleeves hate holding ink... but when they do... they look so good!

Of course, many thanks to the contributors on this record for their incredible works. We are so fortunate to have works by Warren Defever, Francisco López, Mike Bullock, JT Bullitt Studio and Matt Klimas. Many thanks to our audio curator/editor, Joe Reinsel, and of course, to co-curator, Maia Here, for helping bring together this group of musicians and sound artists.
