Overview

The album was recorded in 2002 at Space Studio in Seattle, Washington. The band members produced the album themselves. The album was mixed by Adam Kasper. The album features a cover of the Thunderclap Newman song "Something in the Air". David Fricke of "Rolling Stone" said Wellwater Conspiracy "upgrade the fragrant eccentricity of vintage U.K. flower power -- spaced riffing, spiked-afternoon-tea lyrics -- with modern muscle." [Fricke, David. [http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/wellwaterconspiracy/albums/album/307316/review/5944281/wellwater_conspiracy "Wellwater Conspiracy: "Wellwater Conspiracy"] . "Rolling Stone".
