The band members recorded the album in a basement shower stall that belonged to their manager, Rod Sherwood, who converted the stall into a vocal booth with the aid of a few handy quilts. "Through the Backyards" was the first track to be released as a single, which gained some momentum for the band via its inclusion on David Byrne's web-based radio station.
