The album is divided into four parts: A View of Minstrel Town (tracks 1-3), About the Public Square (tracks 4-7), To A Deserted Town (tracks 9-11), and Farewell Pulse (the final two tracks). Track 8, "and" (a forty-two second noise track), is not included in the list (though one would assume it to finish About the Public Square).

This is the 120th release from Saddle Creek Records.
