The album was self-recorded by the band, and several tracks used unconventional recording methods. One of these is featured on the album's title track – it was recorded through four iPhones placed around a room while Stu Mackenzie sang into one of them.[8]
All tracks written by Stu Mackenzie, except where noted.
Vinyl releases have tracks 1–6 on side A, and tracks 7–12 on side B.[9]
