Background and recording

The album was recorded solely by founding member Patrick Wilson, with Wilson noting, "At some point, I just sort of stopped trying to make [the Special Goodness] a band and just said, 'I'm not going to be happy unless I do everything myself,' which is totally ironic because that's not really my personality."^[2]
