Notes

• Local Angel CD releases feature two cover bonus tracks by Billy Roberts and the Ramones. The vinyl and digital versions don't feature either of these songs.
• The initial material for the album was originally recorded on a cassette tape by Bjork in 2001. Bjork then recorded the material at Rancho De La Luna in 2003 with Molly McGuire and Dave Catching, before ultimately shelving the group's tapes and re-recording the album himself which would become the released version.^[3]
• The album was re-released in 2018 with new artwork under Bjork's current label, Heavy Psych Sounds.^[4]
