Hi Tchad, I'm very curious about your approach to this album and its "spacious mercurial claustrophobia", in general. It's a mind boggling (and magical) sound to me, and I'm guessing it wasn't Mark Eitzel's idea.

Any info on the overall atmosphere, influence, or specifics on these sessions would be forever appreciated...even if it's just "I wanted the album to sound like mercury". Thank you.
