This album was recorded over the course of the past year during quarantine. It is based on an idea to follow up the last cinematic homage record with this one--this time dedicated to everyone's favorite paranormal investigators going into business for themselves.
Despite the trappings of being stuck inside, this record was the first chance for me to try teaming up with others to include some other voices and talents on the record. I want to thank Brian Vernon, David Deacon-Joyner, and Hilary Joyner for your amazing contributions to the record.
