While it was promoted as Forkner's debut solo outing, the album features many collaborations with other artists. Opening track "Double Dragons" features vocals by Dave Longstreth and synthesizers by Franz Prichard of Yume Bitsu. "Bruise Blood" feature vocals by Bobby Birdman. "Come Out (K-Hole Version)" features Jeremiah Green and Eric Judy of Modest Mouse on drums and bass, as well as Phil Elverum (of The Microphones/Mount Eerie) on various horns, and Calvin Johnson on various sounds. "Blankets Made Of Snow" is a remix of a song by Y.A.C.H.T. which appeared in its original form under a different name on Y.A.C.H.T.'s debut album Super Warren MMIV in 2004. The song "Guilded Golden Ladies" is an early version of a track that appears on the White Rainbow album ZOME. Track titles like "Comeouttoshowdem", "Bruise Blood", and "Come Out" all reference the early tape-phasing compositions Come Out by minimalist composer Steve Reich.
