Title and recording

The name, "Too Much Yang", comes from a Feng Shui book drummer Olaf Olsen bought in Los Angeles. Under a picture of an AmCar, the picture text stated: "an example of too much yang". Øystein Greni decided to use the phrase "Too Much Yang" for the title of the album. Most of the album was recorded at Greni's studio Grand Sport in Oslo, with the exception of the track "Hurricane Boy", which was recorded at Capitol Studios in Hollywood.
