Produced by Dave Schiffman, the album was recorded live with minimal overdubs.[4] They celebrated the release with a month-long sold-out residency at The Satellite (formerly Spaceland) in Silver Lake.[5]
On November 6, 2012 Vanaprasta partnered with Spotify for a second time to release Spotify Sessions - a five track live EP released exclusively to Spotify's audience.[6] The band is currently in the studio recording their second album, and played their final show of 2012 at The Satellite in Silver Lake on December 14 [7]
