Very special thanks to Camaron Taylor for letting us borrow his amazing talents. Long live the Golden State Hero! Special thanks to Wonko (aka Michael) as well for recording guitar overdubs for John C. in Bryan and refusing compensation for it both times.
Many thanks to Mari and Jason “Jay” Clark, Chico Jones, Erin Frazier, Millicent Roberts and Maren Roberts for their performances on the record. Thanks to Mark Twistworthy, Paul Ahern, Courtney Jackson and Steve Irsay for their contributions to Economy Island and many musical adventures in the practice room. Thanks to Kelly, Katie, and Wonko for the help and support they have given us over the years.
Thanks to Alex Arizpe (*look his art up*) for allowing us to use his art for the album cover as well as the CD. Alex also goes also goes by Crisis the Clown (*look him up too*). Thanks to Josh Power for his layout work for the album cover and CD. Thanks to all the bands we’ve played with - particularly Ex-Optimists, Jay Satellite, March & Beauty and Prof.Fuzz 63. Finally, thanks to our girlfriends, parents, cats, and dogs for all the love and comfort they provide.
*NOTE (from Richi)* The song ‘Panic’ was written in 2015. It is NOT a song about COVID or recent acts of disgusting racism. It is, in fact, a song about a man who we feared could not lead in the kind of hard times we find ourselves in now. Sadly, I think we were right.
