The spirit of collaboration that guided them in earlier forms is alive alongside the newly locked-in lineup, as they’re joined on various songs by friends old and new. Cassandra Jenkins sings duet on the lush closing track “Time Measured in Moonflowers,” New York composer and multi-instrumentalist Shazad Ismaily contributes synth and guitar textures throughout the album, members of tour-mates Idle Ray stop by, and multiple members of the Constant Smiles collective dating back to their beginnings all add to the layers of restrained orchestration. Along with production from Katie Von Schleicher, engineer Phil Weinrobe (Hand Habits, Tomberlin) recorded and mixed the majority of the album at his home studio, keeping things moving while maintaining the cozy, contemplative atmosphere that’s reflected in the recordings.
