It offers collaborations with Sharon Van Etten, Chelsea Wolfe, Alice Bag, Haley Fohr from Circuit des Yeux, Owen Pallett and Twin Shadow as well as members of Deerhoof, Drab Majesty, Liars and Shearwater. The first song on the album is Bottle of Rum, a collaboration with Grouper’s Liz Harris. Check out Angela Seo’s video from Xiu Xiu and see the full track listing below.

Jamie Stewart said in a press release that he wrote the song drunk on a bajo quinto (10-string guitar-like instrument often used in tejano, conjunto, and norteño music) while doing Groupers Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill song “Heavy Water / I’d Rather Sleep. “

“I asked Liz Harris, an old friend, if she would sing on this new duet record,” said Stewart. “At first I thought of her for another song, but although she didn’t know she was the inspiration behind it, she asked to be on this one. If the stars have ever aligned … well then. “
