This was the final album by Creeping Myrtle. Sadly, it never got a proper release or farewell tour. I was quite proud of the songwriting and thought it made a nice final chapter.

This was the first proper full-length Creeping Myrtle album that wasn’t merely a collection of songs from E.P.’s. The live band had five people and a full sound. This album was recorded with two people. So, it has a minimalist, garage-type feel to it, intentional or otherwise. A snapshot of a particular point in time that marked a farewell to a century.
