			In 2015 Eitzel told ''Aquarium Drunkard'', "We wanted to make a record that might sound good on the radio. All of our previous records had sounded pretty small in radio terms. Our pedal steel player [[Bruce Kaphan]] was a staff engineer at a large recording studio in East Palo Alto called [[The Music Annex]] and the idea was for him to help [[Tom Mallon]] make it sound bigger – bigger gear, whatever. So we started it with that idea. Bruce was probably the biggest factor in making the album what it was. It was about a year in the making and involved much drama. [[Frontier Records]] had a deal that a larger record company that increased the recording budget that fell through just as we were beginning to make the record. Lisa Fancher from [[Frontier Records]] was wonderful and very committed – and after the money fell through allowed us to find another label – which is how ''Everclear'' ended up on [[Alias Records]]. Frontier, however, helped make my career happen. She put out a lot of great music. I’m eternally grateful."<ref>{{cite web \| url=https://aquariumdrunkard.com/2015/02/06/mark-eitzel-the-aquarium-drunkard-interview/ \| work=aquariumdrunkard.com \| date=2015 \| author= \| title=Mark Eitzel: The Aquarium Drunkard Interview \| accessdate=June 16, 2017}}</ref>
