Overview

The album was the second collaboration between Donald Fagen and Walter Becker since Steely Dan disbandment in early 80's (the previous was on Rosie Vela's album Zazu). Becker played guitar and bass and produced the album.

The album is a futuristic, optimistic eight-song cycle about the journey of the narrator in his high-tech car, the Kamakiri (Japanese for praying mantis).[citation needed]

Promotion

Music videos were produced for "Tomorrow's Girls" (starring Rick Moranis) and "Snowbound" (using stop motion animation).[citation needed]

Fagen and Becker embarked on their first tour as Steely Dan since 1974 which also supported the album Kamakiriad.
