Nine new songs recorded in collaboration with Barcelona producer Raul ‘Refree’ Fernandez in New York City and Barcelona between April 2015 and April 2016, with help from many of the players associated with Lee's recent music, and some new friends: The Dust - Alan Licht, Steve Shelley & Tim Luntzel, plus Nels Cline, Kid Millions, and Sharon Van Etten, who sings on 6 songs, including a duet with Lee on ‘Last Looks,'. The lyrics for six of the songs on the record were written in collaboration with American author Jonathan Lethem. Cover art by Richard Prince.
