Producer
Tom Rothrock, best known for his work with Beck and R.L. Burnside,
remixed "Damn Shame" off Jay Farrars critically-acclaimed
solo effort Sebastopol. The EP
also includes four previously unreleased songs.
"The
original idea was to release all 19 songs that were recorded,"
explains Farrar. "That idea made it as far as the mastering
process (19 song sequence). Gradually the idea that there were
just too many songs for one cd began to prevail. The idea of
an EP and the Sebastopol cd with
2 extra instrumental songs ("Fortissimo Wah" and "Equilibrium")
is where it ended up. The songs were always slated for an EP
release as opposed to not being released or ending up as b-sides."
