Hell and High Water recorded the album at
Die Tonmeisterei
in Oldenburg with Role, marking the band's first proper studio production.
Around the same time, two alternate versions of War were recorded, including an acoustic version with Sebastian Windhorst on lapsteel — years before he joined the WOULD live band.
The band also played the Sankt Hell Festival at Grünspan in Hamburg.
Looking back, it's interesting that songs like Hitchhiker, Sundays and Tomorrow Again already existed in early versions and later became part of Palila's catalogue and live set.

“In some of the quieter parts the singer actually reminds a bit of Neil Young.
The music moves between melodic alternative rock and lighter pop-rock moments.
This is not for those who need barbed wire and Satan for breakfast,
but for those who want a slightly lighter alternative.”
