For this album William combined influences from his ex-group Sywnthkrawft, with his more ambient projects. This is also the first album to feature vocals by William C. Woxlin.

Since William's change of name (from 'William Johansson' to 'William C. Woxlin') this album will be released under his new name during the spring of 2009.

Overview

During the peak of Williams band Sywnthkrawft he started to write songs for a third album. But after their announcement of an indefinite hiatus William decided to make a new solo album. The first recording sessions started in May 2007 with the whole group; but later William discharged Gustav Jacobsson and Viktor Jacobsson from the project and recorded the album by himself. The final album contains 16 song from sessions made during a one-year period. Some of the songs were meant to turn up on the third Sywnthkrawft album (named "SK3 - The Space Musical").
